TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Arizona State looked very beatable last week. Unlike Pac-10 power Southern California, the 14th-ranked Sun Devils found a way to remain unbeaten. ASU's 23-20 victory at Washington State might have been its ugliest game so far. But it left the Sun Devils (6-0, 3-0 Pac-10) tied for first in the Pac-10 with UCLA.
"We didn't play our best game by any means, but then again, that was partly because of them," coach Dennis Erickson said Monday at his weekly campus news conference. "We came out of Pullman with a win, so we're 6-0 and 3-0 in the league, and that's where we wanted to be."

Ah, we were discussing difference makers among coaches earlier in another thread, and while I didn't mention Dennis Erickson then, I will now. Man, what a turnaround. He's done a phenomenal job with Arizona State. They're going to be in contention for the Pac-10 title until the very end.
