1. Washington breaks away
Washington is one of the most underrated teams in my book. Losing their only game in some of the worst weather conditions that were delayed until almost midnight. Jacob Eason is one of the best passers in the country that no one has also heard about. USC, on the other hand, has questions about their head coach Clay Helton it seems every week and is having major QB depth issues as well.
With the win against a ranked Utah Saturday, I believe the USC faithful may be a bit too high on this time at the moment. Washington is playing its second conference home game and should be able to put the Trojans away early.
This game could get out of hand quickly if the Huskies can play as well as they have been on defense. Combine that with Eason’s throwing ability and this could be over before half time. Washington could be moving way up the national polls after this impressive win if they can take care of business and solidify themselves as the best Pac-12 representative.
