Sun Devils beat Utes 19-16 in overtime Arizona State watched as one of the nation's best kickers missed not one, but two attempts in overtime. The Sun Devils' kicker is pretty good, too, and he made it from nearly the same spot, putting them in control of the Pac-12 South, not the Utes. Zane Gonzalez kicked a 36-yard field goal in overtime for his fourth field goal and Arizona State overcame an uneven performance to beat Utah (6-2, 3-1, No. 17 CFP, No. 18 AP) 19-16 on Saturday night.

Oregon takes advantage of Kaelin Clay's goal-line fumble, downs Utah For about 5 seconds, the ball was just lying there in the end zone at the feet of Oregon's Erick Dargan. Utah's Kaelin Clay was celebrating with his teammates what looked like a long touchdown catch to put the Utes up 14-0 in the second quarter against the fifth-ranked Ducks. Joe Walker knew better. Clay had nonchalantly dropped the ball a yard before crossing the goal line. Walker returned Clay's careless goal line fumble 100 yards for a touchdown and Marcus Mariota threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score as Oregon turned back No. 17 Utah 51-27 on Saturday night.

They didn't back down from the challenge. They rose up, finding a way to pull out the kind of victory that had eluded them. Regaining composure after Notre Dame's furious second-half rally, Arizona State (No. 9 CFP, No. 11 AP) scored three late touchdowns and bolstered its playoff hopes with a 55-31 victory over the Irish (No. 10 CFP, No. 8 AP) on Saturday.

Josh Shaw reinstated by USC USC cornerback Josh Shaw has been reinstated to the team, the school announced Tuesday. Shaw had been suspended since late August, when he fabricated a story to explain how he suffered two high ankle sprains as a result of jumping from the balcony of his third-story apartment following an argument with his girlfriend. He initially -- and repeatedly -- told USC officials the injury occurred as a result of a leap from a balcony in an effort to save his drowning nephew. That story was shared on USC's website and quickly became a national story before Shaw admitted he had made it up. His reinstatement was announced on the USC website.

No. 11 Arizona holds on vs. No. 13 Arizona State to win Pac-12 South Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez didn't want the score of the UCLA-Stanford game to be displayed inside Arizona Stadium, nor did he want word to leak down to the sideline.

Nick Wilson ran for 178 yards and three touchdowns and No. 12 Arizona held off No. 13 Arizona State on Friday to claim the Pac-12 South title.
