The Washington Huskies can be had at + 10 1/2 points right now, and two things
#1. This number will close at 7 1/2 or lower so get it now.
#2. Washington will cover the 10 1/2. Mark it down. There isnt much that I know, but I know that the 10 1/2 is way way way too high.
This USC team is not the same team that we have known in years past. They are on probation and I dont know if thats the reason, but this teams defense is crap. The defense used to be the strength of the Trojans, but this year it isnt. This fact has just not been that noticeable due to the fact that the Trojans are 4-0.
The thing is, they havent played anyone. They gave up 36 points to Hawaii. That same Hawaii team scored less than that against Army and that same Hawaii team only scored 13 against Colorado.
They gave up 16 points against Washington State. The Cogars are a joke, they only scored 23 against Montana State, so they scored almost as much against USC as against Montana State.
USC gave up 21 against Minnesota. The Gophers then scored 24 against Midd Tenn State and 23 against Northern Illinios.
And dont think, that Washington State got there points in Garbage time. No all their points except 3 were scored in the 1st half. There is no way that USC deserves to be ranked #16 in one poll. They are 4-0 but they havent beaten a good team and their wins havent been impressive at all. They are overranked simply because of their past performances.
The Washington Huskies have an offense that will ABUSE this USC defense. They have one of the best QB's in the nation in Jake Locker and he is going to have no moving the ball on this defense. Yes, the Huskies only come into this game with a 1-2 record, but their season schedule has been far stronger than USC's.
They did put up 41 points against Syracuse. In Syracuse's other 3 games, they have given up a TOTAL of 24 points. Now yes, they have played sub par opponents but non the less, Syracuse has given up 65 points in 4 games, with 41 of those coming against the Huskies.
I simply think that The Huskies have a very balanced offense here. Qb Locker comes in completing over 51% of his passes, he is averaging almost 210 yards passing per game and has 6 TD's against 2 INT's. Both of those INT's came against #6 Nebraska which is playing far better ball than USC.
The Huskies can also run the ball with great success. RB Chris Polk is averaging over 5 yards per carry. He has 53 rushing attempts for 266 yards.
The Huskies come into this game off an off week, which again I think will be a big advantage. Coach Sarkisian is one of the best coaches in the gaand he has had 2 weeks to prepare for these overrated Trojans. I wouldnt be surprised if we see a repeat of a few years back when Washington Beat USC as 28 point underdogs. Not going that far out on a limb here, but I will say tht UW covers this 10 1/2 point spread with ease.
