Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies will be meeting with a lot of new faces and new teams as they get used to being in the Big Ten. But, for better or worse, Washington will also get the distinct pleasure of meeting up with a familiar face as the Huskies get to host Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans (who also left life in the Pac-12 for the Big Ten).
Fisch and the Huskies will bring Riley and the Trojans to Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium in early November in a game that is something of a classic West Coast rivalry series. But, well, it’s not a Pac-12 series anymore, which will take some getting used to for a lot of college football fans.
Hey, at least some classic series are getting preserved even in the midst of the ever changing landscape that is college football these days.
Here’s what you need to know about the game:
Washington Huskies vs. USC Trojans Game Details
- Who: Washington Huskies vs USC Trojans
- What: Regular season Big Ten Conference game
- When: November 2, 2024
- Where: Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington
Both of these teams are going to have to adjust to life in the Big Ten this season and there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve for both, especially given the fact that both of their starting quarterbacks from last season are now off in the NFL.
And both of these Big Ten newcomers are going to be adjusting to various different changes on their coaching staffs. Washington has obviously undergone more changes, but Lincoln Riley is facing a ton of criticisms and critiques and he had to change things on the defensive side of the ball.
So, it’ll be interesting to see how these two teams get set and play. It’ll certainly be interesting to see what their records look like once November actually rolls around.
