TEMPE, Ariz. — Mike Bercovici threw for three touchdowns and ran for another and Arizona State overcame a sluggish start to beat New Mexico 34-10 on Friday night.
Bercovici had touchdown passes of 14, 33 and 93 yards and ran eight yards for the other Sun Devils TD.
The 93-yard play to Demario Richard matched the third-longest pass in Arizona State history. Richard rushed for 104 yards and his 151 yards receiving — on four catches — is a school record for a running back.
The three TD passes came in a stretch when Bercovici completed 17 of 19 for 271 yards. Overall, he was 22 of 37 for 317 yards and was not intercepted.
Redshirt freshman Tyrone Owens scored New Mexico’s lone touchdown on a 65-yard run.
Arizona State (2-1) beat New Mexico (1-2) for the 19th time in a row.
