The Prediction: USC Trojans

The last 3 Washington victories over USC (going back to 2001) have been by margins of three, five, and three points. The 90s were kinder to the Dawgs and saw larger margins of victory, including two shutouts, totaling 58-0. All of this is to say, I think we’re in for a very close game on Saturday.

USC offensively against the Husky defense will be a challenge as Matt Fink has some mobility to him and will be throwing to the best WR unit Washington will face all season, by far. USC has struggled to run the ball - though 235 pound freshman Markese Stepp has been impressive - but the pass game has been generating plenty of yards and 9 TDs through four games.
