Sun Devils rally by Utes behind Kelly

NO. 22 ARIZONA ST. 20, UTAH 19

SALT LAKE CITY — Taylor Kelly ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the fourth quarter and No. 22 Arizona State came from behind to beat Utah 20-19 on Saturday.

Sun Devils All-America defensive tackle Will Sutton sealed the victory with an interception at the line of scrimmage with 1:01 left at the Utah 25.

Stifled by Utah’s aggressive defense for most of three quarters, Kelly helped keep the Sun Devils (7-2, 5-1 Pac12) in the driver’s seat for the Pacific-12 South title.

Kelly finished 19-for-31 passing for 144 yards and Marion Grice rushed 20 times for 136 yards. Grice busted through the Utah line and rumbled 38 yards to set up Kelly’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Richard Smith with 2:37 to play to make it 20-19. Utah’s Trevor Reilly sacked Kelly on the two-point conversion attempt.

Travis Wilson was 6-for-21 for 121 yards for Utah (4-5, 1-5 Pac-12) and threw interceptions that ended the Utes’ last two drives. Wilson hit Sean Fitzgerald for a 12-yard touchdown with 5:19 left in the third quarter to give Utah a 19-7 lead.

In other Pacific-12 games, Nelson Agholor had two of Southern California’s NCAA-record tying three punt returns for touchdowns and Javorius Allen scored three times to help the Trojans beat California 62-28. ... Keith Price threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as Washington racked up nearly 500 yards on offense and routed Colorado 59-7.
