LOS ANGELES (AP) - J.R. Redmond, returning from a one-game suspension, rushed for 148 yards and scored three touchdowns as Arizona State downed Southern California 26-16 Saturday.
Redmond carried 34 times and scored on runs of 1, 3 and 14 yards as the Sun Devils (5-4, 4-2 Pac-10) handed the Trojans (3-6, 1-5) their fifth straight loss, their worst slump since a six-game slide in 1991.
Redmond's 14-yard scoring run gave the Sun Devils breathing room with 1:47 left to play.
A few minutes earlier, Arizona State had an apparent touchdown, on a fourth-down dive by Gerald Green, called back for a motion penalty. Stephen Baker then missed a 23-yard field goal attempt.
The Trojans struggled again on offense despite a change at quarterback.
Senior John Fox, who lost the job to Mike Van Raaphorst in 1997, got the nod and went 15-of-24 for 124 yards, with one touchdown and one interception, but could not move the team consistently. Van Raaphorst played most of the second half and completed 12-of-24 for 91 yards, with two interceptions.
Arizona State tight end Todd Heap had seven catches for 100 yards and one touchdown. Ryan Kealy completed 18-of-29 for 223 yards and one touchdown, with one interception.
Defensive tackle Ennis Davis pulled the Trojans, who had trailed since early in the second quarter, within three points with 8:46 left in the game.
Davis, a 6-foot-4, 300-pounder picked, picked off a wobbly pass by Kealy and lumbered 30 yards for a touchdown, hurdling a would-be tackler near the goal line. David Newbury missed the PAT kick.
Redmond scooted into the end zone untouched from the 3-yard line to give the Sun Devils a 19-7 lead midway through the second quarter.
A fine catch by Heap, who was running full speed and took the ball on his fingertips with a defender right in his face, picked up 37 yards down to the USC 3. Redmond scored on the next play, and a pass on the conversion was incomplete.
Newbury, who had missed a 47-yard field goal earlier in the second quarter, hit a 29-yarder to narrow the deficit to 19-10 with 2:02 remaining before halftime.
Kenny Williams' interception of a pass by Fox set up the Sun Devils' second touchdown early in the second quarter.
Williams returned the interception 30 yards to the USC 1, and Redmond bulled into the end zone on the next play. Baker's PAT kick failed.
USC scored first, on a 2-yard run by Chad Morton with 5:18 remaining in the first quarter. Arizona State came back right, with a 31-yard run by Delvon Flowers and a 32-yard pass from Kealy to Brian Forth keying an 80-yard drive that ended with Ryan's 2-yard pass to Heap.
Redmond was suspended was for accepting improper benefits, including cellular phone air time and a plane ticket to Las Vegas, from a female student who worked part time in the ASU athletic department.
