The catch-and-run occurred on fourth-and-17 from Washington's own 33 yard-line.
Huard finished the day with 27 completions on 47 attempts for 321 yards and four scores.
Washington had led 35-28 entering the fourth quarter, but Arizona State fought back with 10 unanswered points. Mike Gauthier kicked a 42-yard field goal to pull the Sun Devils within four with 12:21 remaining.
The Sun Devils used a 61-yard punt return by J.R. Redmond to move into scoring position, and quarterback Ryan Kealy completed an eight- yard toss to Tariq McDonald, who made a diving catch in the end zone.
However, Huard worked his fourth-down magic, connecting with Davis on a fly pattern down the right hashmark. Davis pulled in the ball and outraced two defenders to the end zone for the go-ahead score.
Kealy then found Todd Heap in the back of the end zone to give the Sun Devils a 14-7 lead with 2:20 remaining in the quarter, but Pat Conniff's 16-yard run early in the second stanza evened the game again.
Arizona State took a 21-14 lead at the 7:04 point of the second quarter on a one-yard run by Davaren Hightower and extended the advantage to 14 points on a 22-yard run by Redmond.
Washington closed within a touchdown with three minutes left in the half on a Huard touchdown pass to Dane Looker, covering three yards.
After intermission, the Huskies seized control of the contest, as Huard and Looker hooked up once again, this time on a nine-yard pass.
With 4:45 remaining in the stanza, the Huskies finally took the lead, as Jerald Harris ran in from five yards out.
