Stanford increased its lead to 20-6 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Scarlett with 2:45 to play in the third quarter. Scarlett punched in his third touchdown of the season and his second in as many weeks.

Arizona State pulled within 20-13 with 7:50 left in the fourth quarter. Wilkins scampered out of the pocket and tumbled across the goal line for a 10-yard score.

Stanford running back Bryce Love managed only 21 rushing yards on 11 carries. Love, who also caught two passes for 10 yards, has been hampered this season by an ankle injury that forced him to miss last week's game against Utah.
