However conference realignment out West shakes out, maybe the No. 21 Huskies just need to find a way to get away from Arizona State. Or, more specifically, making trips to play football at Arizona State.
Washington has dropped eight in a row in Tempe after stumbling, 45-38, as the Sun Devils earned their first victory in three tries under interim coach Shaun Aguano. The Huskies’ last victory at Arizona State came in 2001.
It’s also becoming clear one of the biggest overreactions of nonconference play was to give Washington (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) a lot of credit for ambushing Michigan State on Sept. 17.
The Spartans, as the three weeks since against Minnesota, Maryland and Ohio State have amply illustrated, are not very good. And Washington, while it’s better off than a year ago, is probably going to settle in as a midpack Pac-12 team after its back-to-back losses to UCLA and Arizona State — especially since it doesn’t have to deal with Southern California or Utah at all.
