Sun Devils Shine in Second Half

Sam Keller threw for 365 yards and four touchdowns and Derek Hagan had 193 receiving yards Saturday night as 18th-ranked Arizona State cruised to a 42-24 victory over Oregon State at Corvallis, Ore.

The Sun Devils, 3-1, 1-0 in the Pacific 10 Conference, scored four touchdowns in the third quarter to pull away. The Beavers (2-2, 0-1) turned the ball over six times.

Hagan, a senior who has receptions in 33 consecutive games, passed John Jefferson (1974 to ‘77) to become the Sun Devils’ career leader in receiving yards with 2,160. He had 11 receptions, two for touchdowns, against the Beavers.

The game was stopped for about 15 minutes in the third quarter after a member of the chain crew was knocked unconscious and left the field in an ambulance.

The sideline official, Swede Clappe, was taken to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. He was alert and talking at the hospital, an Oregon State official said.
