TEMPE, Ariz. -- Stanfords players stood on the makeshift stage in the end zone, waving red roses as coach David Shaw accepted the Pac-12 championship trophy. After all the Cardinal had been through this season, they earned a chance to repeat as Rose Bowl champions. This trip to Pasadena might be even sweeter than the first one. Tyler Gaffney ran for 133 yards and scored three touchdowns in a dominating first half, leading No. 7 Stanford back to the Rose Bowl with a 38-14 victory over No. 11 Arizona State in the Pac-12 title game Saturday night. "We talk about what it takes to get into Stanford ... where everybody else says you dont have to do that," Shaw said. "When things get tough or when people say they (the players) shouldnt do it or cant do it, they dont care. They put their heads down and keep working." Stanford (11-2) raced out to a big lead Sept. 21 in its first game with Arizona State this season and had its way with the Sun Devils again early in the rematch, going up 28-7 early in the second quarter. Gaffney, as he has most of the season, did most of the damage, scoring on a 69-yard run on the Cardinals second play and a pair of 1-yard runs. The Cardinal consistently gouged Arizona States defence for big plays all night, racking up 517 yards, including 240 on the ground. Kevin Hogan kept the Sun Devils off-balance, throwing for 277 yards and a touchdown. Ty Montgomery added a dash of versatility, catching a touchdown pass and running for another score. Stanfords defence, its calling card under Shaw and Jim Harbaugh before him, was dominating again, preventing Taylor Kelly from making big plays while holding Arizona States offence to 311 total yards. After a seesaw ride into the Pac-12 title game that included a loss to unranked Utah, the Cardinal are headed back to Pasadena after a dominating performance. "We had some downs this year, but we love each other," said Gaffney, who watched last years Rose Bowl from the sideline after returning from playing minor league baseball. "Being here makes it all worth it." Arizona State (10-3) stumbled early for the second straight game against the Cardinal and again had trouble on special teams to spoil its Rose Bowl hopes. The Sun Devils were able to beat Arizona without leading rusher and scorer Marion Grice last week, but had trouble getting much going offensively without him against the Cardinal. D.J. Foster accounted for 142 total yards and two touchdowns before a knee injury sidelined him for most of the second half. Kelly threw for 173 yards and touchdown and was unable create plays with his legs against Stanfords containment. Instead of their first trip to Pasadena since 1997, the Sun Devils will likely play in the Holiday or Alamo Bowl. "They dominated the game and beat us every way you can tonight," Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. "They obviously were the better team and deserved to win." Stanford won the first meeting 42-28 by racing out to a big lead and holding a Sun Devils charge. A lot happened in the 11 weeks since: Arizona State won seven straight to clinch the Pac-12 South and Stanford won the North despite losing twice. The Cardinal got off to another fast start in the rematch: Gaffney raced 69 yards down the sideline for a touchdown that turned the raucous crowd inside Sun Devil Stadium nearly silent. The Sun Devils had a quick counterpunch this time, scoring on their fifth play when Foster charged through up the middle for a 51-yard touchdown, eclipsing Arizona States entire rushing total (50) from the first meeting. But Stanford followed with a series of body blows, churning out big plays behind its massive offensive line. Gaffney scored on a 1-yard run after Hogan hit Jordan Pratt on 35-yard pass. Montgomery scored on the first play of the second quarter, racing in 22 yards on an end-around after Hogan connected on a 42-yard pass to Devon Cajuste. A 29-yard run by Anthony Wilkerson set up Fosters third TD, a fourth-down dive that put the Cardinal up 28-7 early in the second quarter. "We said all week not to let them make big plays and we didnt do that," Arizona State safety Alden Darby said. "We gave up three bombs to let them score and that set the tone." Arizona State finally showed signs of life late in the quarter, when Foster broke a tackle and turned a swing pass into a 65-yard touchdown that cut the lead to 28-14. The Sun Devils had a couple of scoring chances in the third quarter and came up empty. Zane Gonzalez ended his school-record streak of made field goals 18 by missing a 31-yarder and Stanfords Zach Hoffpauir came off the corner to stuff DeMarieya Nelson on fourth-and-goal on Arizona States second attempt from the 1. Stanford put it out of reach thanks to another big play early in the fourth quarter. Hogan hit Cajuste on a 78-yard pass, then found Montgomery on a 24-yard touchdown throw to put the Cardinal up 38-14 and headed back to the Rose Bowl. Authentic Dallas Goedert Jersey .

The legend paints Kelly as the Gary Kasparov of the NFL, an Xs and Os grandmaster capable of beating Bill Walsh in a game of chess never mind the Neanderthals that roam the sidelines in todays NFL. To call that a misconception is being kind. Kelly runs perhaps the most basic offense in all of professional football, in essence zone-read right or left, with only the formation and run or pass differentiating from play to play. In fact Kellys whole football philosophy isnt based on fooling or outscheming anyone, its about controlled chaos with the intent of constantly pushing the pace and outnumbering the defense in space, an ideology he believes forces his opponents into far more miscues than his own team which prepares with practices run as quickly as possible in order to improve conditioning and maximize repetitions. And Kelly expects his charges to make the occasional mistake. Hes just betting on the fact that if his players make one, yours will make two because they werent ready at the snap of the ball or theyre just too gassed to handle their particular assignments. Its a mentality thats old hat in college football now, where Kelly dominated at the University of Oregon, but still rather new to the NFL which still has some real-life dinosaurs coaching on Sundays. Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett made the most news after Seattles dominating 24-14 win over Kellys Eagles on Sunday by taking an unfair shot at Philadelphia quarterback Mark Sanchez, who piloted a unit that put up just 139 yards of total offense in 18 minutes of possession, the Eagles lowest output in 30 games under Kelly and its worse performance as a whole since 2005. Tell the Philadelphia police to put an APB out, Bennett quipped. Sanchez is trying to impersonate a good quarterback. Sanchez completed just 10 of his 20 passes for 96 yards in his fifth straight start for the injured Nick Foles. He did throw touchdown passes to Jeremy Maclin and Zach Ertz, but looked overmatched against the vaunted Legion of Boom. Thats a really good football team that we played and they showed it, Sanchez admitted. They brought a great game plan..ddddddddddddThey played really well in their zones and really well in their man (coverage). They took away a lot of opportunities and then when opportunities presented themselves, I missed a couple of balls downfield and they made us pay. Ill give them credit, Kelly added. They did a hell of a job on defense. The Seahawks usually do. Peyton Manning is a pretty good QB but he looked a lot like Sanchez back in February when facing a similar Seattle D in the Super Bowl, one that has reappeared ever since middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and strong safety Kam Chancellor returned from injury. The Seahawks stop unit hadnt given up a TD in eight quarters before Sundays game, allowing just three points to both Arizona and San Francisco in back-to- back performances. When it finally did allow a TD in Philly it was because of Jon Ryans bobbled punt and the Eagles traversed only 14 yards before Maclins 1-yard score. In fact Seattle really gave up only one play all afternoon, the 35-yard TD pass from Sanchez to Ertz in the third quarter. They have a sound system and they have great players in every spot, Sanchez said. We just didnt really give our best showing out there and thats unfortunate because that would have been a good one for us. Sanchezs 96 passing yards marked his worst game under Kelly and the fourth lowest passing total of his spotty career, a result that sparked one reporter to ask Bennett what he saw in the Eagles quarterback. The same thing everyone else saw, Bennett replied. Not much. Bennett, though, was just having fun after a big win. Wagner, on the other hand, was holding court and exposing what Kelly and the Eagles are about. No matter how fast they ran a play, we were just on it, the LB said. We knew what plays were coming and its a pretty basic offense. And the recipe for beating it is also pretty basic albeit easier said than done. It just seem like a similar story. We played disciplined, sound football, Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman said. Like I said earlier in the week when everybody brushed me off, they have to deal with us just like we have to deal with them. You can hurry up all you want but if you cannot get yards, cannot complete passes, then its just quick three and outs. ' ' '
