Ohio State has had 6 first round DB draft picks from 2016-2018. 3 first rounders in one year. That is why I hated to see Kerry Coombs go to the Titans. If I could get one coach back it would be him.

Washington lost all but two starters on defense after last season. Their secondary is loaded with freshman.

Scout's eye: Washington's secondary still has star power; Michigan's defense in for a test vs. Iowa

Prior to this weekend, USC was emerging as one of the top stories of the 2019 college football season. The Trojans had a coach on the hot seat, a new offensive coordinator, three different quarterbacks and a bevy of talented receivers that were on the verge of riding the Air Raid offense into a Trojan revival. But Saturday, Washington defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake and his latest collection of talent at defensive back had other plans.

Before USC's 28-14 loss to the No. 15 Huskies, Trojan wide receivers were averaging 274 yards receiving per game on an average of 21 catches. Those numbers had been good for 62% of USC's offensive production. so whether it was JT Daniels, Kedon Slovis or Matt Fink under center, the Air Raid promise of empowering a talented receiving corps had been delivering. But a brick wall was awaiting that passing game in Seattle.

We saw bracketed coverage on USC's Michael Pittman by the Washington defense. We saw a lot of drop-8 coverages that dared Fink to find tight windows and we also saw some man coverage that challenged USC's receivers to win against Washington's defensive backs. What we didn't see was USC win very many of the downfield battles that had fueled the offense in the previous four weeks.

On the day, USC's receivers produced only 139 yards on 12 catches, good for only 37% of USC's offensive production. It was the big-play defense where Washington really thrived though. While it gave up one big play in the passing game, a 44-yard touchdown pass to Pittman in the third quarter when its true freshman safety got caught flat-footed in cover 2 defense, there was really nothing else to speak of downfield. In fact, USC barely found the opportunity to even take shots.

Fink attempted 24 passes to his wide receivers on Saturday and if you exclude throwaways, only eight of those attempts traveled beyond 10 yards. Beyond 10 yards, Fink was two of eight with one touchdown and two interceptions. Everything else was dink-and-dunk work, most of which was tackled for minimal gain.

We've seen Washington have six defensive backs get drafted in the past three NFL Drafts, five of them in the second round. This year's unit came into the season with less name recognition than the past few groups, but Saturday provided an introduction to a few of the emerging stars.

Cameron Williams, that same true freshman that got caught flat-footed on the third quarter touchdown to Pittman also had two interceptions and was named the 247Sports True Freshman of the Week. Washington's first vertical shot came with another true freshman in coverage, Trent McDuffie, and landed out of bounds. The next downfield throw targeted redshirt freshman Kyler Gordon defending a skinny post out of the slot. Then it was Williams' first interception on an over route to Drake London. After failing to crack Washington's three freshmen defenders, Fink opted out of throwing it downfield for the rest of the first half.

USC will look more potent in two weeks when it faces No. 9 Notre Dame and Slovis returns to action at quarterback but the point that Lake's new secondary was trying to make was well received: Washington's talent in the secondary isn't going anywhere.
