VS. TOP-FIVE TEAMS
Saturday’s game at Washington will mark ASU’s second against a top-five team in 2023, as the last time it played two top-five teams in the same season was in 2005 when it fell at home to both No. 5 LSU (35-16 on Sept. 10) and No. 1 USC (38-28 on Oct. 1). It also did the same in 1995, losing at No. 5 USC 31-0 (Sept. 30) and at second-ranked Nebraska (77-28 on Sept. 16).
