ASU wide receiver N’Keal Harry had only touched the ball four times.
He had 15 receiving yards.
But when No. 10 Washington punted the ball inside the five-yard line with about seven minutes left in the game, he was there.
Harry returned the ball 42 yards to set up ASU’s first touchdown since the team scored three minutes into the first quarter.
