SEATTLE – The Arizona State University football program fell to No. 6 Washington, 44-18, on Saturday night in Seattle.
N'Keal Harry set the Sun Devil freshman record for receiving yards, finishing the game with six catches for a game-high 114 yards to bring his season total to 608 yards – surpassing Sun Devil Hall of Famer Zach Miller's 2004 freshman record of 552.
Jay Jay Wilson posted the first multi-touchdown game of his career, coming down with two jump ball touchdowns and a two-point reception in the effort in his best showing as a Sun Devil to date.
Zane Gonzalez kicked his seventh field goal of the season of 50 or longer yards in the effort, matching his own school record in splitting the uprights for the 17th consecutive time this season – the longest active streak in the nation. He is now 7-of-8 from 50 yards or longer this season while the remaining 19 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award are a combined 11-of-17 from that range with no other kicker in this nation with more than three from that range.
The Sun Devil defense got off to a hot start in the effort, picking off Washington quarterback Jake Browning twice in the first 16 minutes of the game and ending the Devils' streak of four consecutive games without an interception. It was the first time Browning had been intercepted twice in a single half since he faced ASU last season in Tempe.
With ASU training 3-0 to begin the second quarter, the second interception was returned 59 yards by Koron Crump for a touchdown – the first interception of his career – but the score was called back due to a blocking penalty. The Devils would turn the ball over a couple plays later, turning the tide of the effort as the Huskies reeled off the next 27 points to take a commanding 30-0 lead late in the third quarter that they wouldn't relinquish.
The Sun Devils scored all 18 of their points in the final 18 minutes of the game as Wilkins found Wilson twice on a pair of desperate fourth down heaves to the end zone and Wilson was able to come down with the ball both times.
Armand Perry finished with the first double-digit tackle game of his career, finishing with 12 total including a tackle for loss to lead the Sun Devil defense.
The Sun Devils will close out the 2016 regular season with the annual Territorial Cup matchup against Arizona, scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. MT kickoff on Friday, Nov. 25 in Tucson, Ariz.
