Washington had a better start in mind on Saturday night, but the Huskies still defeated Arizona State 27-20.
UW took a risk, attempting a double-pass trick play on the first play of its opening drive. But wide receiver Andre Baccellia’s pass was intercepted by Arizona State’s Chase Lucas, who returned it 19 yards to the Huskies’ 20-yard line.
UW nearly got the stop — the Huskies recovered a Benjamin Eno fumble that was overturned — before Eno scored on a 1-yard run. It took just 3:44 seconds for UW to fall behind by a touchdown.
But the Huskies scored on their next drive on an 11-yard pass from Jake Browning to Aaron Fuller and went into halftime up 17-10.
