Rachaad White rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 1:11 remaining, as Arizona State rallied from a 14-point deficit to defeat Washington 35-30 in a Pacific-12 Conference game on a rainy Saturday in Seattle.
White's second TD gave the Sun Devils a 28-24 lead. Teammate Merlin Robertson scored on a 37-yard interception return with 32 seconds remaining.
The Huskies scored on a 2-yard pass from Dylan Morris to Devin Culp with 3 seconds remaining and recovered the ensuing onside kick, but Morris threw incomplete on the final play.
Jayden Daniels was just 10-of-16 passing for 90 yards but threw for one touchdown and rushed for another and the Sun Devils (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12) piled up 286 yards on the ground.
The Huskies (4-6, 3-4), who were without suspended head coach Jimmy Lake and fired offensive coordinator John Donovan, never trailed until White's late score. Defensive coordinator Bob Gregory served as the acting head coach and Junior Adams called the plays.
Morris was 16 of 28 for 151 yards, with one TD passing and another on the ground. Cameron Davis rushed for 67 yards and a score.
After trailing 17-7 at the half, White scored on a 5-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. Daniels pulled the Sun Devils within 24-21 on a 4-yard run with 5:46 remaining.
The Huskies took an early lead, scoring touchdowns on their first two drives and then getting a 37-yard field goal from Peyton Henry on the last play of the half.
Davis scored on a 3-yard touchdown run up the middle to cap UW's initial drive. On the next possession, Morris scored on a 3-yard run to make it 14-0.
The Sun Devils got on the scoreboard with 46 seconds left in the half on Daniels' 18-yard pass to Curtis Hodges.
But that gave Morris and the Huskies just enough time to move into field-goal range before the intermission.
Kamari Pleasant scored Washington's other TD on a 1-yard run on the final play of the third quarter, giving UW a 24-14 lead.
