Earlier this week, ASU defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales talked about his team's failure to put a team away when it had a lead. The result has been a lot of close games, many of which have not gone in the Sun Devils' favor.
Well the Sun Devils left no doubt this time, surging past No. 16 Utah 38-20 Saturday at Sun Devil Stadium in a Pac-12 South showdown that has further muddied the conference picture.
ASU (5-4, 3-3) led 21-20 heading into the final quarter then outscored the favored Utes (6-3, 4-3) 17-0 in the final stanza to blow the game open.
