TEMPE, Ariz. Keanu Neal Jersey . -- Stanfords players stood on the makeshift stage in the end zone, waving red roses as coach David Shaw accepted the Pac-12 championship trophy. After all the Cardinal had been through this season, they earned a chance to repeat as Rose Bowl champions. This trip to Pasadena might be even sweeter than the first one. Tyler Gaffney ran for 133 yards and scored three touchdowns in a dominating first half, leading No. 7 Stanford back to the Rose Bowl with a 38-14 victory over No. 11 Arizona State in the Pac-12 title game Saturday night. "We talk about what it takes to get into Stanford ... where everybody else says you dont have to do that," Shaw said. "When things get tough or when people say they (the players) shouldnt do it or cant do it, they dont care. They put their heads down and keep working." Stanford (11-2) raced out to a big lead Sept. 21 in its first game with Arizona State this season and had its way with the Sun Devils again early in the rematch, going up 28-7 early in the second quarter. Gaffney, as he has most of the season, did most of the damage, scoring on a 69-yard run on the Cardinals second play and a pair of 1-yard runs. The Cardinal consistently gouged Arizona States defence for big plays all night, racking up 517 yards, including 240 on the ground. Kevin Hogan kept the Sun Devils off-balance, throwing for 277 yards and a touchdown. Ty Montgomery added a dash of versatility, catching a touchdown pass and running for another score. Stanfords defence, its calling card under Shaw and Jim Harbaugh before him, was dominating again, preventing Taylor Kelly from making big plays while holding Arizona States offence to 311 total yards. After a seesaw ride into the Pac-12 title game that included a loss to unranked Utah, the Cardinal are headed back to Pasadena after a dominating performance. "We had some downs this year, but we love each other," said Gaffney, who watched last years Rose Bowl from the sideline after returning from playing minor league baseball. "Being here makes it all worth it." Arizona State (10-3) stumbled early for the second straight game against the Cardinal and again had trouble on special teams to spoil its Rose Bowl hopes. The Sun Devils were able to beat Arizona without leading rusher and scorer Marion Grice last week, but had trouble getting much going offensively without him against the Cardinal. D.J. Foster accounted for 142 total yards and two touchdowns before a knee injury sidelined him for most of the second half. Kelly threw for 173 yards and touchdown and was unable create plays with his legs against Stanfords containment. Instead of their first trip to Pasadena since 1997, the Sun Devils will likely play in the Holiday or Alamo Bowl. "They dominated the game and beat us every way you can tonight," Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. "They obviously were the better team and deserved to win." Stanford won the first meeting 42-28 by racing out to a big lead and holding a Sun Devils charge. A lot happened in the 11 weeks since: Arizona State won seven straight to clinch the Pac-12 South and Stanford won the North despite losing twice. The Cardinal got off to another fast start in the rematch: Gaffney raced 69 yards down the sideline for a touchdown that turned the raucous crowd inside Sun Devil Stadium nearly silent. The Sun Devils had a quick counterpunch this time, scoring on their fifth play when Foster charged through up the middle for a 51-yard touchdown, eclipsing Arizona States entire rushing total (50) from the first meeting. But Stanford followed with a series of body blows, churning out big plays behind its massive offensive line. Gaffney scored on a 1-yard run after Hogan hit Jordan Pratt on 35-yard pass. Montgomery scored on the first play of the second quarter, racing in 22 yards on an end-around after Hogan connected on a 42-yard pass to Devon Cajuste. A 29-yard run by Anthony Wilkerson set up Fosters third TD, a fourth-down dive that put the Cardinal up 28-7 early in the second quarter. "We said all week not to let them make big plays and we didnt do that," Arizona State safety Alden Darby said. "We gave up three bombs to let them score and that set the tone." Arizona State finally showed signs of life late in the quarter, when Foster broke a tackle and turned a swing pass into a 65-yard touchdown that cut the lead to 28-14. The Sun Devils had a couple of scoring chances in the third quarter and came up empty. Zane Gonzalez ended his school-record streak of made field goals 18 by missing a 31-yarder and Stanfords Zach Hoffpauir came off the corner to stuff DeMarieya Nelson on fourth-and-goal on Arizona States second attempt from the 1. Stanford put it out of reach thanks to another big play early in the fourth quarter. Hogan hit Cajuste on a 78-yard pass, then found Montgomery on a 24-yard touchdown throw to put the Cardinal up 38-14 and headed back to the Rose Bowl. Deion Sanders Jersey .

Authentic Matt Bosher Falcons Jersey, Big & Tall Matt Bosher Womens Jerseys Sale .B. -- Canadas Rachel Homan had ideal preparation for the playoffs at the Ford World Curling Championships with a pair of hard-fought wins over tenacious opponents Thursday.VANCOUVER - Kendall Waston scored in the 70th minute Saturday as the Vancouver Whitecaps clinched a Major League Soccer playoff spot with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids.The hulking defender flung himself at a Pedro Morales corner kick to head home a goal his team desperately needed as the crowd of 21,000 at B.C. Place Stadium erupted.The Whitecaps entered the weekend one point up on Portland for the fifth and final spot in the Western Conference and had to win in order to advance after the Timbers defeated FC Dallas 2-0 in Texas earlier in the day.Vancouver will now visit Dallas in the Western Conferences No. 4 versus No. 5 one-game playoff on Wednesday.The Whitecaps (12-8-14) missed the 2013 post-season after making the playoffs back in 2012.The Rapids (8-18-8), who were only playing for pride, saw their winless run stretch to 14 games.The Whitecaps didnt know what result they required on the night until the Timbers game was completed just a few minutes into the match in Vancouver.Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson looked to spark his team early in the second half by bringing on speedy striker Kekuta Manneh, and the 19-year-old caused an immediate buzz, rattling the crossbar in the 58th minute behind Clint Irwin with a shot that beat the Colorado goalkeeper cleanly but stayed out.A lack of offence — Vancouver went the equivalent of five games without scoring at one point this year — has been a storyline all season and looked like it might sink the Whitecaps until Robinson rolled the dice again by bringing on Erik Hurtado in the 67th minute with his final substitution.The striker was too sick too start the game but was right next to Waston when he scored his goal, and nearly buried a chance of his own five minutes later. Adrian Clayborn Jersey.

Morales then shanked a shot from inside the Colorado box seven minutes later.Vancouvers best chance of the half came in the 29th minute when Sebastian Fernandez skipped past a Rapids defender but couldnt beat Irwin from in tight.Colorados only shot on target of the opening 45 minutes came in injury time when Charles Eloundou cut off the rush and forced Ousted into a good save at the near post.Note: The Whitecaps honoured former captain Jay DeMerit before the game. The 34-year-old retired in July and is now an ambassador with the club. ... Both teams had to substitute defenders in the first half, with Steven Beitashour limping off for Vancouver in the 33rd minute, while Marvell Wynne exited for Colorado in the 42nd.Follow @JClipperton_CP on Twitter Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
