What will be the GAME RESULT?

#6 Washington: Wins By 25+ Points

Any Other Result

 

• The line for this game is Washington by 27 points.

• Washington is still in the hunt to win the North Division of the Pac-12, but the No. 7 Huskies can’t afford another loss Saturday against visiting Arizona State. Washington’s 12-game winning streak came to an end last weekend against USC, and the Huskies lost another key defensive player to a season-ending injury, but a win against the struggling Sun Devils would be a nice lift heading into their showdown next week against North Division leader and bitter rival Washington State.

• A bright spot for the Sun Devils continues to be freshman wide receiver N’Keal Harry, who pocketed his first 100-yard receiving game last weekend. Harry finished with a season-high eight catches for 114 yards and also took a lateral pass and turned it into a remarkable 31-yard touchdown run in which he weaved and juked his way through a half dozen defenders. Washington’s injuries on defense might hurt them most in the passing game and particularly when Harry’s the target.

• The Huskies have one of the best wide receivers in the Pac-12 in John Ross, who comes in leading the conference in touchdown receptions (15) and second in receiving yards (896). He’s been at his best of late as well, combining for 14 catches for 362 yards and four touchdowns in the last two games and there’s no reason to believe he’ll slow down against the Sun Devils. Dante Pettis, the other fleet-footed wide receiver for the Huskies, is probably looking to bounce back from a sub-par game against USC in which he caught two passes for 22 yards, a week after snaring three touchdowns against California.

• Arizona State has allowed 24 plays of 40 yards or more this season, which ranks 127th in Division 1.

• Washington leads the FBS in turnover margin (+1.5) and has allowed 14 points off turnovers while scoring 89 following takeaways.

• Arizona State has won the last 10 games against the Huskies.
