UW will win if:
They play at the level they have been playing at. They don't have to have some crazy above average game. Just don't make more mistakes than they have been and don't have any serious injuries or uncharacteristic bone headed plays. The game is at home. The defense just needs to not give up many explosive big plays and let the crowd play their part. They have the weapons in both the running and passing game to win either way or fully balanced depending on what the defense is giving them.

USC will win if:
The trojans play a perfect game and get the ball to bounce their way. It would take a special teams TD, maybe a tipped ball pick 6, or some other funny play along with a sound game on both sides to come out with a W. That's not to say they are a very talented team because clearly they are. Darnold should be a player to fear for several years to come and they have a few world class athletes sprinkled all over that field. I'd like their chances a lot more if it was being played in their own house. But it isn't. UW is maybe 6 months farther ahead on their rebuilding efforts than USC currently is and the edge in coaching staff should clearly favor UW.

I had my pick in as UW 34 and USC 23 and I'm sticking to it.

Here's to hoping neither side suffers any major injuries and we have a game that lives up to its billing.

I haven't weighed in on the uniforms this week because, well it's uniforms ffs and I don't typically give a shit. Yes, I'd much rather see them stay with the purple and gold.

I will only say this. While they are honoring our veterans every player on the field will have the name of a veteran from our state sewn on their chest. The name on Jake Browning's jersey is of a soldier from our state that died in 2012 in Afghanistan fighting for our country. There can be no higher honor paid over a game of football IMO.

Go ahead and criticize the color and deviation from tradition of the uniforms they are wearing for this game if you must. Just take the time to read some of the names on their uniforms and remember the sacrifices they have all made for us.

I thought about that, but my luck I'll sleep through the first half....

Wifey Bday tomorrow, told her I would take her to lunch, so I'm holding off on drinking until then and I can continue after lunch at home to watch the game...

Computer just spit out the winner for tomorrow:

UW 41 SC 27


I would be shocked if SC scores over 17 points

 

[RegentDenali]

It's going to be a sellout. USC going to be dealing with some serious noise tomorrow.

 

[DHoey]

Going deer hunting in the morning, better bet I'll be home for the game!

So, I was talking with the wife the other night about Dante Pettis. I swear I've seen him clean his face like a cat the last couple touchdowns that he has scored. She wanted to see it so I tried finding a clip of it and couldn't. I couldn't find a reference to it either. Am I just seeing things???? Anyone else notice it?

According to Pettis he likes cats. Heres a link

There's a purrfectly innocent explanation for why UW's Dante Pettis keeps licking himself

I'm torn, I want $C to win, but it'd be so much sweeter if we ruined their season. If they lose to $C but beat us there is still a chance they can sneak in the playoffs.

Our winning does nothing for you so of course most of your fans want to see them lose.

It does this year, you guys being undefeated and us not only ruining your season but potentially putting us in the Rose Bowl would be orgasmic...but I'd also rather you beat SC because that's the only South team that remotely scares me and don't want to play them.
