? The All-Time Series: With the 27-16 win over the Washington Huskies the Sun Devils improved to 7-2 on the year and a perfect 4-0 in Pac-10 play. The win over Washington snapped a two-game ASU losing streak to the Huskies and cut UW's series lead to 15-9. After a close 33-31 win last year on a last-minute field goal from John Anderson, the Devils got revenge to earn their first win over UW since a 28-7 win in Seattle in 1999. The series is now tied 7-7 in games played in Tempe and ASU earned its first win over UW at Sun Devil Stadium since opening the 1996 Rose Bowl season with a 45-42 win over the Dawgs (Sept. 7).
? A Dominating Effort By Terrell Suggs: Arizona State junior defensive end had a big defensive game with 12 total tackles (five solo, seven assisted), one forced fumble, 6.5 TFL (career high) and a dominating 4.5 total sacks.
