TEMPE - Arizona State desperately needed a hero. At least for an afternoon, they got one in quarterback Trenton Bourguet.
“He’s not the tallest. Not the fastest,” interim head coach Shaun Aguano said. “(He) doesn’t have the strongest arm, but he has the traits of a great quarterback and his guys rally around him.
“Look, Trent has been here. He’s a baller,” running back X Valladay said.
When starting quarterback Emory Jones went down with an injury, Bourguet stepped in for an impressive three-touchdown performance, leading ASU (2-4, 1-2 Pac-12) to a 45-38 shootout win over Washington (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) Saturday afternoon at Sun Devil Stadium.
