The hangover effect was real for No. 5 Washington. Almost too real.
A week after posting a triumphant 36-33 victory over Oregon in one of the best games of the season, the Huskies returned home and were nearly delivered a stunning upset by Arizona State, a team that entered the night with a 1-5 record. Instead, the Huskies escaped with a 15-7 win to remain undefeated.
ASU had a 7-6 lead and the ball deep in Washington territory with under 8:30 remaining in regulation. The Sun Devils had already missed two field goals on the evening, so coach Kenny Dillingham kept his offense on the field on fourth-and-3 from the Washington 12. Washington QB Michael Penix Jr., the betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, had three first-half turnovers — two interceptions and a fumble. ASU couldn’t take advantage of the two interceptions, one of which came in the end zone. But his fumble on a botched exchange with a running back gave Arizona State the ball near midfield and led to the game’s first touchdown when Cameron Skattebo plunged in from a yard out to give the Sun Devils a 7-0 lead.
After ASU drained more than seven minutes off the clock, Dario Longhetto had a 43-yard field goal try blocked for his second miss of the day. Early in the fourth, ASU turned it over on downs after advancing to the Washington 30.
