No. 23 Arizona State’s fourth game of the season, a visit to 10th-ranked Washington, will be televised by ESPN starting with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on Sept. 22, the school announced Monday.
ASU’s 16-13 victory on Saturday over then-No.15 Michigan State likely made the decision an easy one for the network, as that game was ESPN’s highest-rated college football late window game since November of 2016. It averaged a 1.6 rating.
The Sun Devils rallied from a 13-3 deficit in the second half, and a field goal by kicker Brandon Ruiz wrapped the upset win, moving ASU’s home record against Big Ten teams to a spotless 10-0.
The Huskies opened 2018 with a loss to then-No. 9 Auburn, 21-16, before beating North Dakota, 45-3, on Saturday.
