Washington vs Arizona State Game Preview
Why Washington Will Win
The Huskies played well against UCLA, but it was too late when everything got rolling in the 40-32 loss.
The passing game hit 300 yards for the fifth straight game and it got interesting late, but the defense was exposed a bit against the first good offense – Michigan State included – it played this year.
Arizona State doesn’t have enough explosion to get the passing attack going like the Bruins did, and the running game hit a wall over the last two weeks.

It’ll be a decent game in the first half, and then Washington will pull away.
