1983 Fiesta Bowl

[5] The Sun Devils opened with nine wins and were ranked third, but lost to Washington at home and at rival Arizona.

This was ASU's sixth Fiesta Bowl appearance, which remains their only one since leaving the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 1978.

Sooner running back Fred Sims rushed 19 yards for a touchdown, and the ensuing two-point conversion attempt was successful, giving Oklahoma a 21–18 lead.

ASU quarterback Todd Hons threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Ron Brown to make the score 32–21.

Though Arizona State won the game, Oklahoma tailback Marcus Dupree was named the offensive MVP with 239 rushing yards on 17 carries (14.0 avg.).
