It’s do or die time in the Pac-12, as a pair of teams will square off trying to hold on to their seasons as Arizona (5-3, 2-3 in conference) heads to Husky Stadium trying to find a sixth win and secure bowl eligibility against Washington (3-4, 1-3).
How to watch Arizona vs. Washington on TV or online, plus 3 things to know
Two desperate Pac-12 teams after dark, what could go wrong?
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
Last week’s 45-42 home loss to Washington State put them in a pretty tough spot with the final slate remaining: at Washington, at USC, Utah and the season-ending rivalry game at Arizona State. The Wildcats aren’t going to be favored in any of those remaining three, so the best bet for win No. 6 is this week against a young Husky squad that’s been up and down all season.
Washington has lost two in a row since its big Thursday night win against USC, but they aren’t quite in desperation mode yet. Per S&P+ win probability, the Huskies should have a couple more opportunities to clinch a postseason opportunity.
| Date | Opponent | Opp. S&P+ Rk | Win Probability | Proj. W-L | Proj. Margin | Proj. Score | Cumulative Proj. Wins |
| 31-Oct | Arizona | 68 | 73% | W | 10.3 | 34.6 - 24.2 | 3.73 |
| 7-Nov | Utah | 21 | 41% | L | -4.0 | 22.3 - 26.3 | 4.13 |
| 14-Nov | at Arizona State | 67 | 57% | W | 3.3 | 26.9 - 23.6 | 4.71 |
| 21-Nov | at Oregon State | 106 | 81% | W | 15.3 | 32.6 - 17.3 | 5.52 |
| 27-Nov | Washington State | 60 | 70% | W | 8.9 | 31.5 - 22.6 | 6.22 |
Offense has been a struggle for Chris Petersen’s squad, with freshmen in multiple key positions, but the defense is allowing just 18.9 points per game and ranks 26th in S&P+.

Three big things to know
1. New QB for Arizona?
Anu Solomon has had a pretty solid season at quarterback for the Wildcats with 13 touchdown passes against zero interceptions. But there’s been a real push to shift the job over the backup Jerrard Randall, who is a much more dynamic rushing threat. He’s second on the team with 639 yards and averaging a whopping 11 yards per carry, by far the biggest number in the Pac-12. With the Wildcats’ season on the brink, it might be time for a change.
2. Myles Gaskin
The Huskies’ freshman tailback averages six yards per carry and has gone over the century mark in each of his last three games. The AZ defense allows some 170 yards per game on the ground, but has had solid showings against Colorado and Washington State in the last two weeks. Now would be a good time to continue the trend.
3. PAAAAC 12 AAAAAAFTER DAAAAARK
Let’s see, near-midnight kickoff between two West Coast teams? A time slot known for the bizarre and most importantly for viewers, the entertaining? On Halloween night? Yeah, this might have a few tricks and treats.
