Many Wilkins most likely had his best game of the season against California. Wilkins connected on 21 for 30 attempts and 290 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Wilkins was also the full-time running back as he rushed 23 times for 72 yards and three touchdowns. Even though the Sun Devils only had 20 points at the end of the third quarter and down by a touchdown, he drove Arizona State to 24 points in the fourth quarter to win the game.

Demario Richard has been the leading ball carrier, but you can’t overlook what Kalen Ballage has done. Richard had 19 carries for 66 yards against Cal. Ballage only carried the ball six times for 22 yards, but Ballage has nine total touchdowns on the season as he scored 8 in one game against Texas Tech. Richard even though is more of the ball carrier only has 3.9 yards per carry and 348 yards on 90 carries, while Ballage has 6.4 yards on average on 43 carries on 277 yards.

Tim White had 21 receptions for 221 yards and no touchdowns on the season and had six receptions for 86 yards with no touchdowns against Cal.

Arizona State will now take on USC on the road and then UCLA at home. The Sun Devils have put themselves in an excellent position to win the Pac-12 South, but they will need to go through Utah, Colorado, and Washington to make it out alive.

Next: 3. Utah
