Tempe, Ariz. ? Freshman Keegan Herring rushed for 134 yards on 12 carries in the most prolific debut by a running back in Arizona State history and the 20th-ranked Sun Devils beat Temple, 63-16, in Thursday night’s season opener.

Sam Keller threw for four touchdowns, two to Derek Hagan, then sat out the final quarter while Arizona State finished off the Owls’ 22nd consecutive loss to a ranked team and ninth straight defeat on the road.

The 18-year-old Herring had runs of 33 and 28 yards, along with a four-yard touchdown run, en route to the school record for most yards in the first game of a career. The old mark of 117 yards, on 21 carries, was set by Woody Green against Houston in 1971.
