Miller Named Playboy All-American Arizona State University junior tight end Zach Miller (Phoenix, Ariz.) has been recognized as a 2006 Playboy Magazine All-American. Miller is just the 14th Sun Devil in history to earn the prestigious honor. Last season, former ASU wide receiver Derek Hagan (Palmdale, Calif.) was honored in the preseason as a Playboy Magazine All-American.

After his freshman season, Miller earned second-team All-America honors, just one of four freshmen to earn first team or second-team All-American accolades that season. Miller also earned first-team Freshman All-American accolades for his successful 2004 season. In 2004, he was named the Pacific-10 Conference Freshman of the Year, becoming just the second Sun Devil to earn the honor (Terrell Suggs, 2000).

As a freshman, Miller broke the ASU record for receptions in a season by a tight end with 56. His 56 receptions in 2004 tied for the most receptions in the NCAA by a tight end. Along with his 56 receptions, he tallied 552 receiving yards and six touchdowns. In 2005, Miller missed some time with an injury and still managed the team’s third-highest amount of receptions with 38, four of which were touchdowns. He also recorded 476 receiving yards for an average of 12.5 yards per reception.

Other Sun Devils named to the Playboy Magazine All-American Team were: Ron Pritchard (1968), Woody Green (1973), Mike Richard- son (1981, ‘82), Vernon Maxwell (1982), David Fulcher (1985), Randall McDaniel (1987), Nathan LaDuke (1990), Shante Carver (1993), Craig Newsome (1994), Juan Roque (1996), Bruce Snyder (1997 Coach of the Year), Grey Ruegamer (1998) and Derek Hagan (2004).

Sam I Am Senior Sam Keller, who recorded 2,165 passing yards (155-264) and threw for 20 touchdowns last season before missing the last five games due to a thumb injury on his throwing hand, returns as ASU’s starting signal caller in 2006.

Last season Keller joined an elite list, becoming only the sixth quarterback in ASU history to throw 20 or more touchdowns in a season. His 20 touchdown passes last season were tied for the eighth most in a single season in school history. Keller’s 669 yards in the first two games of 2005 (vs. Tempe and vs. LSU) set the school record (for first two games of a season), previously held by Jeff Krohn who had 637 combined yards in the first two games of 2001 (San Diego State and Stanford). With 56 attempts and no interceptions vs. No. 5 LSU (9/10/05), he also broke Paul Justin’s record for consecutive attempts without an interception in a single game (51 vs. Houston, 1990). Keller had a string of 131 consecutive pass attempts without an INT snapped against top-ranked USC on Oct. 1, falling just six short of breaking the school record set by Mike Pagel in 1980.

In his eight career starts, Keller has thrown at least two touchdowns seven times, three or more touchdowns five times and a career- best four touchdowns four times. He set career marks with 35 completions, 56 attempts and 461 yards against No. 5 LSU (9/10). His 461 yards were the ninth-best single-game performance in school history, while he has also tied for eighth on the ASU single-game chart with the aforementioned four-touchdown games four times last season.

Carpenter Proves Himself More Than Capable Having more than one capable quarterback is a luxury that few big-time collegiate programs enjoy. Last season Arizona State found out how important that luxury was when then redshirt freshman Rudy Carpenter came in to replace the injured Sam Keller with five games left in the season. In addition to leading ASU to a 4-1 record, Carpenter also managed to compile a passer efficiency rating of 175.0, which led not only the Pac-10, but the nation as well.

“I’m the happiest guy in America,” said Arizona State head coach Dirk Koetter about having two capable starting quarterbacks. “We have two great quarterbacks … Don’t you wish we had this problem at every position? How good would we be? It is the greatest thing in the world.”

In his five starts last season, Carpenter completed 156 of 228 passes for 2,273 yards, 17 touchdowns and just two interceptions on the year. He completed 68.4-percent of his passes and averaged 252.6 passing yards per game.

Carpenter completed 23 of 35 passes for 467 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in ASU’s 45-40 Insight Bowl victory over Rutgers despite playing with a separated left shoulder which he suffered in the first quarter. Carpenter won Insight Bowl game Most Valuable Offensive Player accolades for that performance.

Carpenter, who selected to the Sporting News' Pac-10 All-Freshman Team and Honorable Mention Freshman All-America last season, con- nected on 27-of-34 passing for 401 yards and three throwing touchdowns, as well as one on the ground, to lead ASU to a 44-20 victory over Washington in his first collegiate start (Oct. 29) and followed that with a 28-of-43, 381-yard outing at Washington State one week later.

Burgess Takes on Bigger Workload Last season Rudy Burgess proved to be one of the top all-around threats when he had the football in his hands. An honorable mention All-Pac-10 selection last season, Burgess finished ninth in the Pac-10 with an average of 121.6 yards per game. In addition to the yards he gained rushing (644), receiving (655) and returning kicks (160 yards), Burgess also threw a touchdown pass last season.

This spring Burgess also added cornerback duties to his already extraordinary workload. Burgess has a history in the defensive backfield, and was originally recruited as a cornerback, where he was the No. 50 cornerback in the nation in 2003, according to Rivals.com. Due to the team’s lack of experience at the position, spring drills provided Burgess ample opportunities to showcase his abilities in ways he has not been able to during his Sun Devil career. At the conclusion of spring football, ASU head coach Dirk Koetter said he was pleased with how Burgess performed, however added that in an ideal world he’d like to see Burgess more on the offensive side of the ball.

“I’m very pleased with how that went (with Burgess playing CB) because now I know Rudy can play three positions,” said Koetter. “I know he can play tailback, I know he can play wide receiver and I know he can play corner and that is going to give us a lot of flexibility in the fall in terms of how we plug him in.

“(Junior) Justin Tryon and (junior) Chris Baloney are the real deal at cornerback,” said Koetter. “I’m excited about (Tryon and Baloney). If they can get the job done then Rudy will be playing on offense. If we get in an injury situation then this spring will be very well worth the price of training him at corner. You can see when Rudy plays corner he is still a playmaker. He does not give up big plays. He is a smart football player and a really valuable guy to have.”

Herring Returns Looking to Build on Solid Freshman Campaign As a freshman last season, Keegan Herring led the Sun Devils and finished ninth in the Pac-10 in rushing with 870 yards on 158 carries (5.5 avg.). His season included six touchdowns and three 100-yard games. Against Arizona, he carried seven times for 20 yards to break the school freshman rushing record of 773 yards. Early last season, Herring, who rushed for 134 yards in his collegiate debut, collected 197 yards on 23 carries and two touchdowns against Northwestern to mark the fifth-highest single-game rushing performance in the nation by a true freshman in 2005. The performance against the Wildcats was the 22nd best in ASU single-game history and the most by a Sun Devil since Delvon Flowers rushed for 226 yards against Oregon State in 2001. Herring’s 67-yard run in the first quarter was ASU’s longest last season and the longest by a Sun Devil since a 74-yard rush by Flowers vs. Stanford in 2001. Herring was selected to the Sporting News' Pac-10 All-Freshman Team and Honorable Mention Freshman All-America. ASU is 243-46-5 (.838) in 294 career games when having a player gain at least 100 yards on the ground (12-8 under Dirk Koetter).

Just for Kicks In his three years of place kicking for the Sun Devils, Jesse Ainsworth has made it a habit of being nearly perfect on PAT attempts, miss- ing just three times in 121 tries. Dating back to the final game of the 2003 season when he connected on 4-of-4 PATs to start his current streak of 97 in a row, a school record. Ainsworth, who was a perfect 53-of-53 last season after going 40-of-40 in 2004, moved past former program record holder Luis Zendejas, who netted 75 from 1981-83. Ainsworth tied Zendejas' mark when he connected on a try following ASU's first touchdown against Oregon last season, a 20-yard strike to Derek Hagan from Sam Keller in the first quarter. In the third stanza, Keller hit Zach Miller for a 1-yard before Ainsworth hit home the record-breaking 76th PAT in a row. Ainsworth’s 53 PATs last season put him fourth in ASU’s record books for the most PATs made in a single season. Ainsworth's 37 field goals are fourth-most in a career and he needs two more to move into a tie for third. He also is just the sixth kicker in school annals to score 200 or more points as his 229 points are 14 behind Robert Nycz (1995-97) for third on the list.

T-Rich Leads Special Teams Senior wide receiver Terry Richardson, who earned Second Team All-America honors last season from SI.com, was named the US Bank Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in last season’s game against USC and he was ranked as one of the top returners in the nation last season. His 84-yard punt return for a TD in the first quarter against USC (10/1) marked the first by a Sun Devil since current St. Louis Ram Shaun McDonald had a 78-yarder against USC on Nov. 4, 2000. It was the 10th-longest punt return in school history (9th-longest for a TD) and the longest by a Sun Devil since Eric Guliford had an 89-yarder against California in 1992. He followed that with a momentum-turning return of 71 yards against Arizona for a touchdown that tied the game in the fourth quarter, making him the sixth Sun Devil overall and first since Ron Washington (1977) to return a pair of kicks for touchdowns in a season. Richardson ended last season No. 2 in the Pac-10 and No. 7 in the nation with an average of 15.3 yards per punt return while also sitting third in the Pac-10 and No. 15 in the nation with an average of 27.4 yards on kickoff returns. On offense, Richardson finished last season fourth on the team with 37 catches for 495 yards (13.4 avg.) and five touchdowns.

A Cat-anese on the Prowl Senior Zach Catanese wasted little time last season making the transition from junior college to Division I. The Shasta College transfer finished second on the team and fourth in the Pac-10 with 107 tackles (62 solo). The safety has also recorded one interception, 3.0 TFL and 2.0 sacks.

Did You Know? With a 17-8 record Arizona State has the third-best record among Pac-10 schools in its last 25 games.

Rose Bowl Teams to be Recognized The 20th and 10th anniversaries of Arizona State’s 1986 and 1996 Rose Bowl teams, respectively, will be recognized this season when the Sun Devils take on Washington State on November 11 at Sun Devil Stadium.

Coached by John Cooper, the 1986 Sun Devils culminated their season with a 22-15 victory over Michigan in the 1987 Rose Bowl, the school’s first ever Rose Bowl appearance. QB Jeff Van Raaphorst, the game’s most valuable offensive player, threw for 193 yards and two touchdowns while the Sun Devil defense shutout the Wolverines in the second half to secure the victory.

Led by host of All-Americans including QB Jake Plummer and LB Derrick Rodgers, the Sun Devils made a return trip to Pasadena in 1996. Coach Bruce Snyder brought an undefeated Sun Devil team (11-0) into the Rose Bowl to take on Ohio State. A dramatic 11-yard touchdown run by Plummer with 1:40 remaining gave ASU a 17-14 lead and had the Sun Devils 100 seconds from laying their claim to the national championship. Unfortunately for the ASU faithful, a last-second touchdown by the Buckeyes denied the Sun Devils a dream ending to what had been a dream season in a 21-17 Ohio State victory.

USC has showcased the past two Heisman Trophy winners, won two of the last three national championships and has appeared in four consecutive BCS bowl games. ASU’s 2006 homecoming game will be played on Oct. 21 against the Stanford Cardinal. Following homecoming, the Sun Devils will travel to Seattle to face the University of Washington, then to Corvallis, Ore., to battle Oregon State University.
