Sun Devil Football comes back from its bye week for just its second road game of the season, trekking to the Pacific Northwest to take on #5/#5 Washington on Saturday, Oct. 21 at Husky Stadium in in Seattle. Scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. AZT kickoff, the contest will be broadcast on FS1 (Jeff Levering, Mark Helfrich) and available over the airwaves locally on ESPN 620 AM (Tim Healey, Jeff Van Raaphorst, Kevin Turner, Jeff Munn).
ON THE HUSKIES/TOP-FIVE TEAMS
The Sun Devils lead the all-time series 22-16 and have had the better of the Huskies for much of the 21st Century, having won 13 of the last 15 games in the series dating back to the team's 2002 victory that kicked off a 10-game winning streak in the series. Trenton Bourguet and the Sun Devils are the last team to lay claim to a victory over the Huskies, who have ripped off 13 wins in a row since ASU's 45-38 victory in Tempe last season. Saturday's game will mark ASU's second against a top-five team in 2023 (also #5 USC) and the first time it played two top-five teams in the same season since 2005 when it fell at home to both No. 5 LSU and No. 1 USC. It also did the same in 1995, losing at No. 5 USC 31 and at second-ranked Nebraska. The last time ASU had the better of a Top-Five team was actually against then-No. 5 Washington in 2017 - a 13-7 victory in Tempe.
