Aztecs Lose to ASU in Desert

TEMPE, Ariz. - The San Diego State University Aztecs dropped another road contest to a Pac-10 team, Arizona State, 34-13 at Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday night. Rudy Carpenter threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns and Keegan Herring rushed for 161 yards on 19 carries while filling in for leading rusher Ryan Torain with two scores to lead the Sun Devils.

Arizona State (3-0) broke open the game with Carpenter's second TD pass, late in the first half, and Herring's third-quarter score that gave the Sun Devils a 31-10 lead. San Diego State (0-2) moved the ball well, amassing 323 yards of offense, but only got into Sun Devil territory five times, settling for two long field goals and scoring on Kevin O'Connell's 3-yard dive into the end zone with 7:58 left in the second quarter that cut the lead to 14-10.

The Aztecs will open the home portion of the 2007 campaign next Saturday against Portland State at Qualcomm, 3:30 pm kickoff
