No. 10 Stanford 38, No. 13 Arizona State 14: Tyler Gaffney's three touchdown runs highlighted a splendid offensive performance by the Cardinal, who defeated the Sun Devils for the second time this season to win the Pac-12 championship game and earn a second straight berth in the Rose Bowl.

Ty Montgomery scored two touchdowns for Stanford (11-2), which followed up its 42-28 home win over Arizona State on Sept. 21 with a dominant effort in this one, racking up 517 total yards, including 133 on 22 carries by Gaffney. Montgomery chipped in five catches for 69 yards and a touchdown and also had a 22-yard TD run, while Kevin Hogan was 12-of-18 for 277 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions.

While Hogan averaged 15.4 yards per attempt, Taylor Kelly only managed 6.9 yards per attempt for Arizona State (10-3). Kelly finished 17-of-25 for 173 yards, including a 65-yard TD pass to D.J. Foster late in the third quarter, while Foster also had a 51-yard touchdown run in the first half.

Gaffney began the onslaught on the second play of the game, sprinting 69 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown, and adding a 1-yard TD plunge 6:11 later for a 14-7 lead. Montgomery pushed the advantage to 21-7 on the first play of the second quarter as he took an end-around, followed a couple of blockers and hurdled a defender on his way to the end zone.

Gaffney added another 1-yard TD run midway through the second quarter, helping Stanford to a 28-14 lead at halftime. The Cardinal tacked on a field goal in the third quarter and a 24-yard TD pass from Hogan to Montgomery in the fourth to win going away.
