Mike Bercovici did more than beat USC with a Hail Mary pass last season.
Arizona State's quarterback torched the Trojans for 510 yards passing and five touchdowns in the Sun Devils' 38-34 victory at the Coliseum.
And Bercovici did that as a fill-in for injured starter Taylor Kelly.
Bercovici is the starter this season and off to a strong start. He has passed for 799 yards and seven touchdowns, with one interception, for a team that hosts No. 19 USC on Saturday night at Sun Devil Stadium.
"No one needs a pregame speech for this week," Bercovici told reporters Monday in Arizona.
