Tempe, AZ - While bowl hopes won't rise or fall based on this game for either team, both Arizona State (4-5, 2-4) and Washington (4-5, 2-4), are hoping to get out of their current funk. Arizona State is heading into this game having fallen well below their lofty expectations, and reeling in a three game losing streak. Their season has arguably spun out of control, and if they lose to the Huskies this week, it comes dangerously close to getting derailed completely. The Huskies, on the other hand are coming off yet another close loss, and looking to put that disappointing game behind then as quickly as possible.
