The Bruins gave the Sun Devils their worst defeat of the 2014 season with a 62-27 thumping. If there were some positives from this blowout, the Sun Devils did gain 626 yards of offense, but they couldn't get out of their own way with turnovers. The Sun Devils will look for revenge this season, this time in the Rose Bowl.

Last season's win over USC was a complete shock given the final minutes of the game. USC held a nine-point lead with just over three minutes remaining, but the Sun Devils scored 14 unanswered points with a last-second Hail Mary pass securing ASU's 34-32 win. The Trojans will be looking for revenge, but the last time these teams met in Tempe, the Trojans gave up 62 points in an embarrassing loss.
