PAC-12 ROUNDUP Hail Mary gives ASU wild win over USC By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Oct. 5, 2014 @ 2:00 am By The Associated Press Posted Oct. 5, 2014 @ 2:00 am » Social News LOS ANGELES — Mike Bercovici collapsed on the Coliseum turf after he released his final throw for Arizona State, cramping up from dehydration. Jaelen Strong wasn’t sure he could get to it, but he sprinted and leaped — and wasn’t quite sure how he ended up with the ball in the end zone, his teammates mobbing him. When Bercovici and Strong finally got up, the Sun Devils celebrated an improbable comeback capped by an unbelievable finish. “You never know what this game can come down to,” Strong said. Strong caught a 46-yard touchdown pass from Bercovici as time expired, and Arizona State scored three TDs in the final 3:53 to shock No. 16 Southern California 38-34 on Saturday night. Bercovici capped his 510-yard, five-touchdown passing performance with his third scoring pass to Strong, who slipped in front of USC’s Hayes Pullard at the goal line and pulled in the Hail Mary, walking into the end zone stunningly untouched. “I’ll be honest, it was a little bit of a prayer,” said Bercovici, the San Fernando Valley product making his second start in front of dozens of friends and family. “I just immediately fell to the floor. I saw Jaelen take a step in the end zone, and I don’t think I could have made it down 50 yards to the end zone. It was an indescribable feeling. I’ve got people telling me, ‘Get up, get up, get up!’ But all I wanted to do was run upstairs to my mom and give her a big hug.” A week after giving up 62 points in a humbling loss to UCLA, the Sun Devils (4-1, 2-1 Pac-12) stormed the field to celebrate their first win at the Coliseum since 1999. “That was the most unbelievable night I’ve ever had in coaching,” Arizona State’s Todd Graham said. “When he caught that ball, my heart stopped. You can be where we were last week, and be here this week.” Arizona State burned its three timeouts in the third quarter, but got the ball back at its 28 with 23 seconds left. Bercovici hit Gary Chambers for 26 yards before launching his final throw into a thicket of USC defenders. “I saw the ball in the air, and the first thing I thought was, ‘I’m going to get this,’” said Strong, who had 10 catches for 202 yards. “I didn’t know if I could get to it, but I just put my head down and kept running. I was laying in the end zone, and I don’t even remember (catching) it. I blacked out.” Bercovici followed up his record-setting, 488-yard passing performance against UCLA with an even bigger night, also hitting Strong for a 77-yard TD midway through the second quarter while filling in for injured Taylor Kelly. NO. 9 NOTRE DAME 17, NO. 14 STANFORD 14: At South Bend, Ind., Everett Golson threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Ben Koyack in the corner of the end zone with 1:01 left as Notre Dame overcame two turnovers and two bungled snaps on field goal attempts. Koyack was alone in the corner and Golson almost didn’t find him in time. But Koyack caught the pass as he fell out of bounds and safety Jordan Richards dove to try to break it up on Notre Dame’s last chance on fourth-and-11. The Fighting Irish improved to 5-0 for just the third time since Lou Holtz left in 1996. Golson also threw a 17-yard TD pass to Chris Brown and Notre Dame amassed 370 yards of total offense against the nation’s top defense. Golson was 20-of-43 passing for 241 yards with one interception and a fumble a week after having four turnovers against Syracuse. Kevin Hogan was 18 of 36 for 158 yards with two interceptions for Stanford (3-2).
