No. 3: Washington Huskies vs. USC Trojans (Week 10)

The good news is this game will be in Husky Stadium. The bad news is that the USC Trojans look a heck of a lot better than I think many people expected them to look. It’s still early, but it seems like Lincoln Riley finally has a decent defense and the offense still looks explosive, even without a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback operating it. 

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies will certainly have a tough test in week 10 as they welcome Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans to Seattle. 

Both of these programs are looking to prove that they belong in the Big Ten, but USC might just be in a better position to do just that this season. While there were some noteworthy roster and coaching staff changes that took place in LA just as they did in Seattle, it wasn’t anywhere near the extent of change for the Trojans as it was for the Huskies. 

USC still looks really good. Washington looks like a bit of a work in progress.

Fisch and UW defensive coordinator Steve Belichick will have their work cut out for them as they try to craft a defensive game plan to slow Riley’s offense that Miller Moss is operating to near perfection.
