Three things to know from ASU vs. New Mexico

Things looked ugly early on for the Sun Devils as they failed to put any points on the board in the first quarter against New Mexico, but ASU found its rhythm on offense and defense en route to a dominant 34-10 victory. After showing a multitude of flaws in the first two games of the season, ASU looked much closer to the team that contended for a Pac-12 South title a season ago, but it still has a ways to go before it reaches those levels this year. Here are three things to know after ASU moved to 2-1 on the season. Kalen who? Richard establishes his worth in record-setting game Sophomore running backs Kalen Ballage and Demario Richard entered the season on fairly equal footing but when it was announced that Ballage would miss extended time with a bout of mononucleosis many wondered if Richard would be able to carry the running game on his own. Richard entered the game having ran for 192 yards on 41 carries and two touchdowns.

Instant recap: ASU 34, New Mexico 10

After starting slow in the first half, ASU didn't disappoint in the second half en route to a 34-10 rout of New Mexico. Freshman receiver Tim White, who had scored the game's only touchdown in the second quarter, returned the opening kick 34 yards which ignited a five play scoring drive. Sophomore running back Demario Richard caught a ball in the flat and had the downfield blocking and speed to race 33 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. On the following drive, ASU lost its shutout when Lobo running back Tyrone Owens broke free for a 65-yard touchdown scamper.
