<p>Sutton adds to his long list of accolades.</p> <p>A pair of Arizona State Sun Devils have been <a href="http://www.thesundevils.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/121312aaa.html" target="_blank">honored by Sports Illustrated</a> as All-Americans.</p>
<p>Defensive tackle Will Sutton was named to Sports Illustrated's first team, while punter Josh Hubner received an honorable mention.</p>
<p>Sutton, a junior from Corona, Calif.,, adds the S.I. honors to a long list of accolades after being one of the nation's top sack-masters. Despite missing nearly two games to injury, Sutton still ranked fifth nationally in tackles for loss with 20, of which his 10.5 sacks ranked 13th in the country.</p>
<p>Hubner's leg punted the Sun Devils to a No. 6 ranking in net punting with a 40.7-yard average. The senior also punted for a total of 2,451 yards, third-most in the nation.</p>
<p>Sutton and Hubner will face the Navy Midshipmen in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Dec. 29.</p>
<p>Sutton's list of accolades includes:</p>

<p>The Clippers and Thunder won a pair of Thursday games in the spotlight on national television.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.clipsnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Los Angeles Clippers</a> flexed some muscle to down the <a href="https://www.blazersedge.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Portland Trail Blazers</a> as three Western Conference teams were in action on Thursday night.</p>
<p>The Clippers outrebounded the Blazers, 44-31, en route to a 103-90 victory on Thursday night. <span>Blake Griffin</span> led the Clippers with ten rebounds while <span>DeAndre Jordan</span> added eight, including six on the offensive glass. <span>Jamal Crawford</span> led L.A. in scoring with 25 points off the bench.</p>
<p>The win moved Los Angeles to the top of the Pacific division on the young season with a 4-2 record. That puts the <a href="https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Phoenix Suns</a> at 1.5 games back with a 2-3 record. The <a href="https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Golden State Warriors</a> are just behind the Clippers at 3-2.</p>
<p>Also in action Thursday night were the <a href="https://www.welcometoloudcity.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>, who took care of the <a href="https://www.blogabull.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Chicago Bulls</a> by the score of 97-91. <span>Kevin Durant</span> scored 10 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, as the Thunder buried the Bulls, 31-19, in the final quarter. The Bulls' <span>Luol Deng</span> and Rip Hamilton combined for 47 points in the losing effort.</p>

<p>The defensive tackle should be at full strength in Los Angeles this week as the Sun Devils face USC.</p> <p>Arizona State Sun Devils defensive tackle <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77518/will-sutton" class="sbn-auto-link">Will Sutton</a> had good news to report this week. Sutton <a href="http://www.foxsportsarizona.com/11/07/12/Sutton-expects-to-be-100-percent-for-USC/landing_sundevils.html?blockID=816245&feedID=4347" target="_blank">expects to be 100 percent healthy</a> as Arizona State takes on the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/usc-trojans" class="sbn-auto-link">USC Trojans</a> in Los Angeles on Saturday.</p>
<p>Sutton went down with a bone bruise in his right knee on the second play of the Sun Devils' Oct. 18th game against Oregon. The 6'2, 271-pound tackle reported Wednesday that he doesn't have much pain in the knee, which is good news for the Devils as they face <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/78123/matt-barkley" class="sbn-auto-link">Matt Barkley</a> and the capable USC offense. The Trojans rank 25th in the country with 465 yards of offense per game.</p>
<p>After missing one full game with the injury, Sutton did play on Nov. 3 against Oregon State. While he played at about 70 or 80 percent, according to head coach Todd Graham, he still forced a fumble that was returned by Junior Onyeali for a touchdown.</p>
<p>In seven full games this season, Sutton has recorded 42 tackles, including six sacks, with five pass breakups and two forced fumbles.</p>

<p>House Of Sparky has outlined five ways Arizona State can upset Oregon on Thursday night.</p> <p>The great thing about being a sports fan is being able to always hope your team will win, regardless of the odds. But for <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/arizona-st-sun-devils" class="sbn-auto-link">Arizona State</a> fans at <a href="http://www.houseofsparky.com/" target="_blank">House Of Sparky</a>, the odds really aren't that large. With the Sun Devils <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/odds" target="_blank">just 8-point underdogs</a> to the No. 3 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oregon-ducks">Oregon Ducks</a>, House Of Sparky has outlined <a href="http://www.houseofsparky.com/2012/10/17/3515166/arizona-state-vs-oregon-preview-dj-foster-taylor-kelly" target="_blank">five reasons the Sun Devils will win</a> Thursday's national spotlight game.</p>
<p>Oregon's main key to success is speed, but House Of Sparky says Arizona State has an answer: a fast defensive line. "<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77518/will-sutton">Will Sutton</a> is playing like an All-American, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112775/carl-bradford">Carl Bradford</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112789/junior-onyeali">Junior Onyeali</a> are having strong starts thanks to their blend of size, strength and quickness," they posit.</p>
<p>The poise of sophomore quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112766/taylor-kelly">Taylor Kelly</a> also figures to factor in the outcome. Kelly is completing 68% of his passes, and has 14 touchdowns to just two interceptions on the year. It's no wonder then that House of Sparky says, "Kelly has shown that he does not get rattled when facing adversity.</p>
<p>Make sure to check out the other reasons why House of Sparky says <a href="http://www.houseofsparky.com/2012/10/17/3515166/arizona-state-vs-oregon-preview-dj-foster-taylor-kelly" target="_blank">Arizona State will score the upset</a>.</p>

<p>The Arizona State Sun Devils took care of the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/california-golden-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">California Golden Bears</a> on Saturday, winning 27-17 on a sunny Berkeley afternoon.</p>
<p>The Sun Devils moved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in Pac-12 Conference with the win. After building a 17-7 lead late in the third quarter, Arizona State saw Cal bring the game within 3. Cal quarterback Zach Maynard hit <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113629/keenan-allen" class="sbn-auto-link">Keenan Allen</a> on a 10-yard touchdown pass with nine minutes left to play.</p>
<p>But the Sun Devils answered back with a quick scoring drive just three minutes later, as <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112766/taylor-kelly" class="sbn-auto-link">Taylor Kelly</a> found <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/88659/kevin-ozier" class="sbn-auto-link">Kevin Ozier</a> for a 22-yard touchdown pass and a 27-17 lead.</p>
<p>The Bears committed a whopping 12 penalties for 119 yards, while Maynard completed just 9-28 passes in the loss that dropped them to 1-4.</p>
<p><b>Box Score Hero: </b>QB Taylor Kelly, Arizona State. Kelly threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns while avoiding any interceptions.</p>
<p><b>Rankings Ramifications: </b>Arizona State was receiving some votes last week, so the win will likely have them creep closer to the top 25.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/odds">But Did They Cover</a><b>? </b>The Sun Devils were favored by 2.5 points and did cover.</p>
<p><b>Next Week's Schedule: </b>Arizona State will take a week off, while Cal prepares to host UCLA.</p>

<p>Sloppy play from the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/arizona-st-sun-devils">Arizona State Sun Devils</a> continued in the third quarter, as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/missouri-tigers">Missouri Tigers</a> increased their lead to 24-7 at the end of the third quarter in Columbia, Mo.</p>
<p>Missouri took advantage of another short field created by more special teams woes. A mishandled snap at the ASU goal line forced punter <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/135494/josh-hubner">Josh Hubner</a> to kick while being dragged down by Missouri defenders. He managed to get his punt off, but Missouri needed just five plays to convert the 33-yard field into a touchdown.</p>
<p>After a first half of offensive struggles, Arizona State started the third quarter by moving to Missouri's 34-yard line, but a sack and a false-start forced the Devils to punt.</p>
<p>Late in the quarter, Missouri botched a punt of its own, giving Arizona State a short field. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112766/taylor-kelly">Taylor Kelly</a> currently has the Sun Devils in business at Missouri's 10-yard line at the quarter's end.</p>

<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/arizona-st-sun-devils">Arizona State</a> salvaged a rough first half with a late score and entered halftime trailing the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/missouri-tigers" class="sbn-auto-link">Missouri Tigers</a> 17-7 in the Sun Devils' first road game of the year.</p>
<p>Trailing 17-0, the Sun Devils put together a seven-play, 66-yard touchdown drive to help keep them in contention for the second half. After being in danger of finishing with under 50 yards of offense in the half, <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112766/taylor-kelly" class="sbn-auto-link">Taylor Kelly</a> hit <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/162479/dj-foster">DJ Foster</a> on a screen pass, and Foster ran 33 yards for a touchdown.</p>
<p>Previous to that score, things looked bleak for the Sun Devils, who gave up 72 yards worth of punt returns in the quarter.

Gaines</a> provided a 48-yard punt return with six minutes left in the half, setting the Tigers up with an 18-yard field.

<p>A pair of turnovers punctuated a sloppy quarter for Arizona State, as the Sun Devils have fallen behind the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/missouri-tigers">Missouri Tigers</a> 10-0 after one quarter of play in Columbia, Missouri.</p>
<p>The biggest turnover came on a punt return by Arizona State's <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/77508/jamal-miles">Jamal Miles</a>. A booming 59-yard punt from Missouri's Trey Barrow pushed Miles back to near the ASU 15-yard line. His return momentum met Missouri coverage at the 25-yard line, where he fumbled, setting Missouri up with a very short field.</p>
<p>Four plays later, Missouri quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/134321/corbin-berkstresser">Corbin Berkstresser</a> punched in a six-yard touchdown run for the 10- lead. Berkstresser, a freshman, is filling in for the ailing <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/115134/james-franklin">James Franklin</a>, who is out with a shoulder injury suffered last week against Georgia.</p>
<p>An Andrew Bagget 46-yard field goal is the only other score of the game.</p>
<p>Arizona State finished the quarter with just 34 yards of offense, including a 1-7 showing from quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112766/taylor-kelly">Taylor Kelly</a>, who also has an interception on the night.</p>

<p>Phil Mickelson shot a round-best 64 on Saturday to shoot to the top of the leaderboard at the BMW Championship in Carmel, Ind. The former Arizona State Sun Devil put together a string of seven birdies in ten holes to tie Vijay Singh at the top of the leaderboard after three rounds.</p>
<p>While Singh shot three under par on the afternoon, the lefty's eight-under round was two strokes better than anyone else on the day.</p>
<p>Scottsdale resident Ryan Moore fell out of the top ten with a one-over-par round. He currently sits at 11-under and is tied for 12th place. Lee Westwood's four-under effort now has him tied for third place with McIlroy, who won the Deutsche Bank Championship last week. Both are at 15-under par and one shot behind the leaders.</p>
<p>Woods, meanwhile, shot four bogeys in his first eight holes before recovering his round and finishing one-under par on the day. His tournament score of 13-under has him alone in eighth place.</p>
