Miscellaneous Game Notes:
For the first time in 47 years, UW will play former WAC rival Arizona State. The Cowboys trail the all-time series 9-6. The Sun Devils joined the Pac-10 after the 1977 season and will be playing their first game as a member of the Big 12.
ASU starting quarterback Sean Leavitt played at Michigan State last season for new UW offensive coordinator Jay Johnson. In four games for the Spartans, Leavitt was 15-for-23 passing for 139 yards and two touchdowns before transferring following a coaching change.
The Sun Devils’ new offensive coordinator, Marcus Arroyo, held the same position with the Pokes under Dave Christensen from 2009-10 before stops at Cal, Oklahoma State, Oregon and as UNLV’s head coach from 2020-22. ASU’s rushing attack is led by Cam Skattebo, who had 788 yards rushing and nine touchdowns to lead the team in 2023.
UW quarterback Evan Svoboda, who is from nearby Mesa, Ariz., will face a strong secondary led by safety Shamari Simmons (led ASU with 73 tackles last season). The Sun Devils added 15 transfers on defense, including 12 from power conferences, to bolster all levels of the unit.
