NOTEWORTHY Washington is a 17-point favorite over Arkansas State. … The Red Wolves last made a trip to the West Coast in 2015 when they dropped their season opener to then-No. 8 Southern California. … The Huskies began their 2021 campaign with a 13-7 home loss against FCS Montana in which Washington gave the ball away three times. … Before taking over as head coach last season, Jimmy Lake spent the last eight seasons as a defensive assistant under former Huskies coach Chris Petersen (2012-13 at Boise State, 2014-19 at Washington). … Arkansas State enters the weekend fourth in the nation in total offense, averaging 596.5 yards per game, with 90 points over its first two games. … The Red Wolves will receive $1.75 million to play in Seattle, extending their run of high-priced buy games — ASU was paid $1.7 million when it lost 57-7 at Alabama in 2018, $1.8 million when it fell 55-0 at Georgia in 2019 and will get $1.8 million when it treks to both Ohio State in 2022 and Michigan in 2024.
