Party like it’s 1996.
In a Pac-12 After Dark blackout, the night grew dark, then ominous, then pitch black for No. 5 Washington, as Arizona State handed Washington its first loss of the season, 13-7.
The Sun Devils had been 0-10 against top-5 teams since 1996 until Saturday.
Arizona State’s first half dominance was characterized by sacks, long time-ticking drives and ultimately limiting Washington offensively. In the first half, the Huskies had just two first downs.
Taking just over eight minutes to do so, the Sun Devils took 16 plays to score the first seven points of the game on their first drive, but of course, with a gutsy play call.
