  Emory Jones adeptly orchestrated the offense, showed off his elusiveness on a touchdown run. Xazavian Valladay juked and jolted his way for big chunks of yards. Arizona State's two marquee transfers had sterling debuts and the rest of the new-look Sun Devils were sharp most of the night, opening the season with an easy win over an FCS opponent. Jones ran for two touchdowns in his desert debut, Halladay ran for 116 yards and a score, and the Sun Devils opened their fifth season under coach Herm Edwards with a 40-3 win over Northern Arizona on Thursday night. "There's a lot of things we have to work on, but the composure of the team was good," Edwards said. "With all these new guys on the sideline, you didn't know how they were going to act, but they were good." The Sun Devils needed a few series to jell with 43 new players on their roster. Once they got rolling, the Lumberjacks could do little to stop them.

Carter Brown kicked four field goals, Arizona State led 24-3 at halftime and outgained Northern Arizona 419-120 in total yards to win its 23rd straight home opener. The Sun Devils are 17-0 all-time against FCS schools. Valladay, a Wyoming transfer, showed off the speed that's made him the nation's active leading rusher, reeling off a 27-yard TD run early in the third quarter. Jones had poise in the pocket and made good decisions, scoring on a 1-yard dive in the second quarter and a 17-yard run just before halftime. "We got a first win and have many more good things to come," said Jones, who threw for 152 yards on 13-of-18 passing and ran for 48 yards. - Arizona State/AP College Football
