Momentum in college football has no loyalty. It sides with whoever earns it. It doesn’t let you get away with having 12 men on the field, but it may help you survive. The Huskies look to carry newfound momentum in Happy Valley next Saturday against Penn State after dramatically downing USC 26-21.
Sitting at 4-4, both teams entered Saturday disappointed in what transpired during previous weeks but hopefully for a bright finish to the regular season. USC, at times, has looked good enough to be atop the Big Ten standings; other times, it has looked like a team destined to finish just above .
