ASU Football: 2017 Home Opponents

October 14: Washington Huskies

The Huskies roll into town off of a very impressive 2016 campaign that saw them win the Pac-12 and get into the College Football Playoffs. They will be bringing back most of their key pieces, with quarterback Jake Browning being the center piece.

For ASU, this is the game to prove what they are made of. While Washington isn’t in the Pac-12 south, they are the defending Pac-12 champions and a good performance against them could make the rest of the Pac-12 take notice.

If I’m being frank, I don’t think they are going to beat the Huskies. Unfortunately for the Sun Devils, they don’t have the same amount of talent as Washington does. That isn’t to say that the Sun Devils aren’t talented, they just aren’t as talented as the Huskies.

While they may not win, they could give Washington a run for their money. A good defensive effort paired with a nice offensive night could lead to an exciting, edge-of-your-seat game. If the Sun Devils were to put on a good performance against the defending champs, then it could be the start of something big. They could take away a lot of positives from their performance and use it as fuel for the remainder of the season.
