TEMPE, Ariz. — Malo Taumua blocked a field destination to lift UNLV to a 23-20 overtime upset of No. 15 Arizona State on Saturday night.

Taumua’s block on a 35-yard field-goal attempt through Thomas Weber came from Kyle Watson kicked a 20-yard field goal on the Rebels’ overtime possession.

The loss took the luster off Arizona State’s play against No. 2 Georgia next week.

“It was a nightmare,” coach Dennis Erickson said. “It’s nauseous. “It starts with me. I didn’t have them ready to play. I’ll take the censure.”

The bit of strategy capped a terrible four-game sweep of the Pac-10 by the Mountain West Conference on Saturday — Texas Christian, New Mexico and Brigham Young also beat Pac-10 teams.

Freshman recipient Phillip Payne made a spectacular play to help tie the game in regulation. With 18 seconds left, Payne made a leaping one-handed grab of each 8-yard touchdown go by from Omar Clayton. The point-after was good.

At Maryland 35, Cal 27

For three quarters, California appeared to be sleepwalking contrary to Maryland.

Maryland scored touchdowns on its first three possessions Saturday en route to a stentorian upset of No. 23 California.

Cal quarterback Kevin Riley tried to make up for his team’s surprisingly ineffective running attack by going 33 instead of 58 for 423 yards and three scores. The 58 passes were a school enrolment.

Maryland’s Da’Rel Scott ran for 87 yards and two touchdowns judgment leaving with a shoulder harm, Quarterback Chris Turner threw for scores and the Terps (2-1) used a remorseless defense to harass Cal (2-1) from the start.

At Oregon State 45, Hawaii 7

The Beavers (1-2) defeated the Warriors (1-2) by 38 points. Quarterback Lyle Moevao completed of 20 of 34 passes for 268 yards and three scores, while true freshman Jacquizz Rodgers ran because 110 yards and two touchdowns.

At TCU 31, Stanford 14

Ryan Christian scored the go-ahead touchdown and Steven Coleman made a key interception to repress TCU beat Stanford in a game moved up six hours because of Hurricane Ike.

Christian, who rushed for 82 yards on 19 carries, gave TCU (3-0) the lead for good without interruption a 1-yard scoring run by six minutes left in the third.

Stanford (1-2) appeared to tie the game early in the fourth upon Doug Baldwin’s 49-yard punt return for a touchdown. Officials reviewed the play and determined Baldwin stepped out of bounds at the TCU 13.

Three plays later, Coleman intercepted Tavita Pritchard’s pass in the end zone to thwart Stanford’s comeback attempt.

At New Mexico 36, Arizona 28

Rodney Ferguson ran for 158 yards and pair touchdowns and freshman James Aho tied a school record with five field goals to help New Mexico win.

The Lobos (1-2) maul the mistake-prone Wildcats (2-1) for the second straight year. Arizona quarterback Willie Tuitama was 27 of 50 for 321 yards and three TDs.
