When: 3:30 PM ET, Thursday October 8, 2015
Where: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California
Lines: USC -17
Total: 56
The Washington Huskies come in off a loss in the Pac-12 opener. Yes they lost by just 6 points to Cal, but were outgained by 222 yards in the game. Washington really had issues moving the ball in the game as they put up just 259 yards of total offense. One thing that made the final score closer than it was, was a 70 yrd fumble return for a TD by the Huskies Other than that they didn’t play well. They allowed the Bears 342 yards passing in the game and that isn’t a good sign as they are about to face the high powered Trojans. Washington will need to be better vs the pass as they continue their Pac-12 schedule, but more importantly they must improve on an offense that is 100th in the nation in total yards. Right now they have no shot at outscoring the high powered offenses that are in this league. You need offense to compete in the Pac-12 and right now the Huskies don’t have it.
The Trojans have no issues at all on the offensive side of the ball as they have put up 532 yards per game of offense this year, which is 11th in the nation. Their passing game has been excellent as they have averaged 357 ypg through the Air, which ranks 9th in the nation and they have scored 46.8 ppg, which is 5th. Cody Kessler came into the year as one to watch out for in the Heisman chase and he hasn’t disappointed as he has hit 73% of his oasses for 1297 yards, with 15 TDs to just 1 INT. As you can see, the Washington defense will have it’s hands full in this one. Defensively the Trojans have played a bend but don’t break style as they are 91st in yards allowed and 90th vs the pass, but they allow just 17.5 ppg, which is 22nd in the nation.

Free College Football Pick: USC -17 over Washington
I just can’t see Washington staying in this game. They just don’t have the offense to do so, even vs a USC team that gives up plenty of yards. Yes the Trojans give up yards, but not points as they have allowed just 17.5 ppg on the year. I can’t see Washington putting up many points in this, but I can see them giving up plenty as they won’t be able to stop the passing offense of the Trojans. USc just Crushed Arizona State on the road and their last home game was a bad loss vs Stanford, so I really look for them to pour it on in this one. USC but at least 21 i this one.
