In the 27-16 win, Suggs had a game-high 12 tackles, five solos, including 6.5 tackles for loss (minus-44 yards) – 4.5 of which were sacks (for minus-36 yards) – and forced a fumble. The 4.5 sacks raised Suggs to 17.5 sacks for the year, which ties the NCAA single-season record. ASU's defense limited Washington to 42 yards rushing, 252 yards total offense and registered eight sacks.

A three-person panel from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) selects the winner of the weekly award.

The FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club pick a National Defensive Player of the Week each Monday. Suggs will be added to the Watch List for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy which will be presented on Dec. 9 in Charlotte, N.C., by the FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club.
