There was no reason for it to happen. But it did.
Arizona State’s upset of No. 5 Washington last season in Tempe may have been the most bizarre moment in college football. The Sun Devils, who lost to San Diego State and Texas Tech in consecutive weeks, knocked off a Husky team that won 18 of their last 20 games while qualifying for the College Football Playoff a season ago.
They did it by limiting reigning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year Jake Browning to 139 passing yards and zero touchdown throws. ASU sacked Browning five times in that game, matching the number of times he hit the turf the previous six games.
