Game Thread: #4 Washington Huskies vs #20 USC Trojans 11/12 7:30 EST on FOX

[OregonDucks]

Game Rundown: The #5 Washington Huskies host the surging USC Trojans in Husky Stadium on Saturday night. What is this you ask? Yes, a Duck posting a game thread for the huskies and Trojans. Why? Folks this is the biggest game of the weekend and it comes to you from the PAC-12. The conference of champions. The huskies been robbed for the 4th spot from the CFP and this is a chance for them to prove the east coast bias wrong. But the Trojans are surging after a huge win against the Ducks. Lots are at stake in this game, both trying to win their respected divisions and the huskies are trying to get to somewhere they haven't been in a long, long time.

How this plays out: The huskies are at home in one of their biggest games of the year. Look for Petersen to set things up in washingtons favor in the game plan. I see a close game early on and at halftime both fan bases might have a few more gray hairs, but I see Washingtons defense getting to the young Darnold QB and making him frazzled. He makes one two many mistakes and huskies boring style of ball puts the glitz and glamor of Los Angeles to sleep and pull away in the 4th quarter.

Score prediction:

Washington - 32

USC - 21

Petersen has been waiting his whole life for this moment, he finally has a P5 team that if they go unbeaten he gets his shot at a national title. He could do this year in and year out at boise and get no respect. Now he has it in Washington. He wont let this thing slip through his fingers.

There will be a lot of interesting match ups. Adoree/Ross will play a major role imo. Its going to be a fun ride. Hopefully SC shows up

Then SC is in trouble. Browne was a major disappointment. I'm hoping for a good game

Adore Jackson, meet John Ross.

SC has Sam Darnold in at QB now and although he's just a freshman he's twice the QB as Max Browne.

Adore Jackson, meet John Ross.

That may be a huge match up. With two very gifted athletes.

Big time matchup. I think Dante Pettis (UW #2 WR) will see a lot of action this Saturday because of that.

SC is goint to need Marshall to step up big time. Justin and Smith are going to need to get some kind of pressure on Browning or it could be a long day. Sc will need Darnold to be consistent and protect the ball. My biggest concern is the SC O Line.They are going to have to play a lot more disciplined than they have been.

5 days till and you start the game thread???

Washington's biggest advantage imo will be crowd noise when Darnold is behind the center.

And McClacther. If they try to go single coverage to stop the run and have any success on covering Ross, both Pettis and Chico will get a lot of looks.

It's going to be a hell of a chess game. UW has so many different ways of attacking on offense. Which way will USC approach defending it?

Oh, and total FAIL by clark for not getting this thing up before a damned duck posted it. You had one job.

I like it better this way. If theres a chance I'm going out. I would prefer it be in an OD thread.They are epic.I have a lot of respect for OD over the years

 

[TheDayMan]

God damn it OD.
