Washington @ USC

Alright, I will eat it. Washington drove 77 yards on the final possession and a fourth-down stop at the end is all that kept me from looking like a genius. USC 25, Washington 21, and I came in at Washington 31, USC 30.

31-30

USC wins, Washington 21, and my score pick was USC 34, Washington 20. Got the winner right, and Washington's defense held tighter than I gave them credit for. I will take the W.

34-20

I had USC 35, Washington 21, and the final was 25-21. Got the winner, missed the Trojans' total by ten, but I said Jayden Maiava and the home crowd would carry this and they did.

35-21

I called USC 48, Washington 28, and this game finished 25-21. Winner hit, but that score was nowhere close. Washington's defense was for real and I owe @bigdaddy an apology for laughing at him when he said defense travels.

48-28

Defense travels, son. I said it pregame and I will say it again. Washington held Jayden Maiava to 245 yards and one touchdown and still nearly won the game.

34-20

I had USC 38, Washington 24, winner correct, score off by thirteen on the USC side. The fumble return for a touchdown in the third quarter is what kept Washington in it and nobody had that on their bingo card.

38-24

I said it was a trap game and Washington drove 77 yards in the final minutes and almost pulled it off. The series is still 3-1 Huskies all time, and this one came down to a fourth-down stop. I was not wrong about the game, just wrong about the last play.

31-30

@drew You said Washington 31, USC 30. The final was USC 25, Washington 21. You were wrong about the winner, wrong about the score, and now you want credit for the last drive. That is not how this works.

35-21

Meanwhile @drew called Penn State at Northwestern this week and hit it, so he is having a moment, but this USC pick was a clean miss. Demond Williams Jr. finished with 198 yards and one touchdown, Brian Bonner Jr. ran for 89 yards, and Washington still lost.

48-28

The story of this game was the fumble return for a touchdown flipping the lead in the third quarter. USC only scored 25 points but they did not need more because Washington's offense could not finish when it counted on fourth down.

38-24

Both Demond Williams Jr. and Jayden Maiava just made the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award top 15, so at least both quarterbacks get some hardware out of a 25-21 game. Washington heads home to face Iowa and USC heads to Penn State for the White Out.

31-30

Four of us hit the winner, @drew missed it, and the desk is moving on. USC at Penn State in a White Out is a whole different conversation, and I am not sure 25 points gets it done in that building.

34-20
