Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller A full slate of games -- nobody's sitting home this weekend eating Doritos. 1. It's going to be nasty fun in Husky Stadium: Oregon has beaten Washington five consecutive times. And by at least 20 points each time. What was once the most bitter rivalry in the Pac-10 has become a mismatch, which has... more »
Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller The backup quarterback is just a bruised shoulder or broken jaw away from taking over the most critical position on the field -- just ask USC or UCLA. There's already been plenty of quarterback movement in the conference -- injuries, depth chart changes, etc. -- so it seemed like a good time to see... more »
It's that time of the month again for some in the press... The time for them to pine for the past when USC doesn't live up to expectations. We hear it constantly from the insufferable Scott Wolf. We recently heard it from the insufferable Matt Hayes. And now Chris Dufresne has joined the chorus (circus?). It really is a... more »
What a surprise! USC had another post-big game letdown entering Pac10 play.
Don't go into hibernation just yet; there are positives to be taken away from this game shown in the highlights.
Joe McKnight rushed for 100 yards on 11 carries, upping his current season total rush yards to 305. Could he be the first Trojan since Reggie Bush to rush for over 1000 yards in a season?
The offense struggled with the passing game, but there were some great runs by Stanley Havili, Stafon Johnson, and Allen Bradford.
USC's young defense did a great job containing Jake Locker and holding the Huskies to 16 points. If only the offense would have scored another touchdown or two. Sophomore Jurrell Casey and redshirt freshman Nick Perry set up camp in the Huskies' backfield.

USC is riding a 12-game winning streak ... Washington ended a 15-game losing streak vs. Idaho last weekend ... Washington coach Steve Sarkisian spent seven years on... more »
Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller The games are finally here, and the first one is a doozy, with Oregon squaring off with Boise State on the Smurf Turf. The other big ones include a conference game -- Stanford at Washington State -- LSU paying a visit to Washington (giving new coach Steve Sarkisian a serious challenge for his debut),... more »

We’re all very excited for you, Steve Sarkisian. Finally get the head coaching job. The big chair. Your own whistle. The van with the moon roof and kickass shag carpet for the lady to roll around on in her birthday suit. It’s all brilliant–almost as brilliant as Steamed Manila Clams with Chorizo with Flying Fish. But the background of... more »
Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller We spent a lot of time talking about quarterbacks this spring in the Pac-10, most particularly USC's quarterback competition -- did ya hear, Aaron Corp's No. 1 but this freshman Matt Barkley looks like the bees' knees! The other general theme isn't new: After reviewing the tea leaves on the table, does any team... more »
Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller Concerns that athletic Washington quarterback Jake Locker won't be able to work within new head coach Steve Sarkisian's pro-style scheme might shortly evaporate. Locker completed 16 of 18 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns as the Huskies' starters buried the backups, 33-0, in the spring game. Obviously, a team that went 0-12 last... more »
There’s a lot of buzz right now about USC’s Mark Sanchez going as high as No. 4 to Seattle in Saturday’s NFL draft. (He could room with his old pal Steve Sarkisian! Imagine the sitcom-esque shenanigans!) ESPN.com’s Todd McShay addressed that speculation and picked a few other potential landing spots for Sanchez in a conference call with reporters: “He... more »
