Anderson is on board with the Cardinal

November 25, 2014

Despite already securing the commitment of Cincinnati (OH) St. Xavier tight end Alexander DeAngelis, Stanford's coaches are always on the lookout for talented tight ends, since it's one of the most important positions in their offense. It was to that end that the Cardinal hosted four-star Monroe (NC) Sun Valley tight end Phil Anderson this past weekend, and today the two sides formalized their courtship with an official scholarship offer, followed quickly by a verbal commitment.

"The two things that stood out most about Stanford were the academics and the offense," Anderson said. "The academics, they speak for themselves. A degree from Stanford is one of the most prestigious in the world, and if you're blessed enough to be admitted, you'd be a fool to say no. So once I cleared admissions, it was pretty much a done deal then. But the cherry on top is how the tight end is utilized in Coach Kudron's offense. They've had star tight ends for several years now, and they really feature them all over the place in their offense. And it's not even a case of just having one on the field. They almost always have two on the field, and sometimes three or even four, so I know I'll be able to come in and play early if I work hard enough."

The 6'5, 249-pound Anderson gives Stanford seven commitments for 2015, with only three targets left on the board for the time being: 4* Houston corner Corey Thomas, who has held a Stanford offer for months, and two newly offered prospects: 4* Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco corner Benjamin Gilbert, and the nation's third ranked kicker, Chad Clayton, from Archbishop Alter High School in Kettering, OH. The offer to Gilbert may say something about Coach Kudron's feeling about the odds of junior corners Quinn Fogle and Scott Mitchell returning for their senior years. Fogle seems like a sure bet to leave early at this point, and Mitchell may be leaning that way as well.

Former Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Todd Monken and former Colorado head coach Jon Embree have turned the Sun Devils around quickly. Monken's first season in 2013 was a dismal 6-6, but the addition of Embree to the staff helped boost ASU to a 9-4 season, a win over USC, and a South Division title. The Sun Devils are led by Texas A&M transfer quarterback Jameill Showers, who in addition to 2465 yards passing (along with 24 touchdowns to 13 interceptions) also has 548 yards on the ground. Senior tailback DJ Bush will miss the game with a high ankle sprain; he was ASU's leading rusher with 884 yards and eight touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Californian Mike Bush (no relation) (429 yards, 4 TDs) will likely be his replacement. Arizona State does not have one dominant receiving threat, but they boast an impressive stable of targets: juniors Ezekiel Bishop (43 receptions, 501 yards, 5 TDs), Jacques Davidson (36-445-9), Eric Wright (26-254-2), Gary Chambers (24-298-1), and sophomore tight end Tyler Tatum (37-551-4) will be a stiff test for Stanford's sketchy pass defense. The Sun Devils are underrated and very physical up front, led by Rimington Trophy favorite Mo Latu at center and USC transfer and Arizona native Cyrus Hobbi at guard. ASU runs a traditional 4-3 defense, led by undersized senior Jordan McDonald at defensive end. McDonald is only 220 pounds, but makes up for it with exceptional quickness and explosion off the ball; he is second on the team with 5.5 sacks, trailing only fellow defensive end Jerome Lamb's 6.5. ASU has nice size inside at tackle with 293-pound Scott McKinley, 315-pound Mark Coleman, and 294-pound Terry Johnson. Weakside linebacker Cooper Pelluer is the Sun Devils' leading tackler with 66 stops, just ahead of strongside linebacker Jamaal Williams' 65. ASU may be vulnerable at middle linebacker: redshirt freshman Steve Wilkerson's inexperience could prove fatal against Stanford's offense. In the secondary, senior corner Devan Spann is one of the conference's best ballhawks with seven interceptions, and Rashad Wadood and Jeremy Sawyer round out a solid trio of corners. Safety, however, is a different story. Sophomore Brett Bentley and freshman Daniel Bailey both bring decent size, but they are very, very green, which leaves the potential for the middle of the field to be badly exposed by the Cardinal, especially in playaction.

#23 Arizona State vs. #1 Stanford
Pac-12 Championship Game
Qualcomm Stadium
San Diego, CA
December 13, 2014



Scorched Earth
Sun Devils put Stanford's dreams up in flames with stunning upset

SAN DIEGO, CA - For a season that featured so many breaks, so many clutch plays, and seemed to be filled with so much hope, Stanford will deserve a better fate than it's going to get.

Underdog Arizona State did the unthinkable Saturday night, beating top-ranked Stanford 34-19 in the Pac-12 Championship Game in San Diego. The loss not only shatters Stanford's national title hopes, but it will knock the Cardinal clean out of the BCS, as Arizona State will play in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, while North Division runner-up Oregon will back its way into the BCS National Championship Game in Glendale, Arizona. That will relegate 12-1 Stanford to the Holiday or Alamo Bowl.

After firing on all cylinders basically all season, Stanford could never get out of neutral against the Sun Devils, who managed to avoid the fatal mistakes that Cal made three weeks ago in the regular season finale. Worse, Stanford, whose calling card in Brian Kudron's four seasons as head coach has become dominating the turnover margin and breaking the will of its opponents with crucial turnovers at crucial times, lost control of the game late in the third quarter on a horrifying pick six thrown by Brett Nottingham that put ASU ahead 20-16. After that, Nottingham was visibly rattled, and with him Stanford's offense collapsed, opening the door for the Sun Devils to deliver the knockout blows late in the fourth.

"I'm not really sure what I can say, I'm kind of at a loss for words," Kudron said on the field after the game. "There was nothing different in practice, no different mindset or anything like that in the leadup to the game. We prepared for this just like every other one, and I felt - we all felt, really - that we were in a good spot mentally headed into today. And once the game started, we just didn't seem like ourselves. We weren't crisp, we weren't focused, we didn't execute like we've come to expect of ourselves, and it all just caved in on us. If it hasn't hit us yet, it will soon. We let a tremendous opportunity slip away from us today. Give credit to Arizona State, they wanted it much more than we did today. And considering how much was at stake for us, that's incredibly disappointing. For our seniors, this is a tough way to go out. And for our younger kids, we have to make this into a learning experience so the next time we're in a spot like this, we're better prepared."
