TEMPE, Arizona (Ticker) -- Arizona State left the door open andSouthern California walked right in.


John David Booty threw for four touchdowns and ran in another asthe 11th-ranked Trojans posted a convincing 44-24 victory overthe No. 7 Sun Devils on Thursday night.


Booty completed 26-of-39 passes for 375 yards to help USC (9-2,6-2 Pac-10) remain alive for an unprecedented sixth straightconference crown under coach Pete Carroll.


Southern California needs to defeat hated-rival UCLA next weekand have Oregon stumbled in one of its final two games to securea trip to the Rose Bowl.


Arizona State entered with a chance of clinching at least ashare of the Pac-10 Conference title, but Booty and USC'soffense had other things in mind.


Kicker David Buehler's 20-yard field goal broke a 17-17 tie andBooty extended the lead with his one-yard scamper up the middleas the Trojans grabbed a 27-17 edge at intermission.

The senior signal-caller helped Southern Cal find the end zonetwice in the third with TD passes to Joe McKnight and Fred Davisto make it 44-17 after three quarters.


The Trojans had almost no fighting chance of even competing foranother Pac-10 crown after disappointing losses to Stanford andOregon.


But USC's defense was also stellar in this one, collecting sixsacks against quarterback Rudy Carpenter and held ArizonaState's ground attack to just 15 yards.


Carpenter finished 21-of-30 for 241 yards and one score for theSun Devils.
