USC vs Washington College Football Picks, College Football Predictions & College Football Odds: After a hard fought win at Ohio State last weekend, the USC Trojans must now face conference rival Washington at Husky Stadium in Seattle. The last time these two teams met on the Washington campus, USC barely escaped, winning 27-24 as a -20 favorite. The situation is eerily similar for today's 3:30pm ET kickoff (ABC) as online bookmaker SBGglobal.com's college football picks have Pete Carroll's Trojans pegged as a -19.5 against the spread road favorite.

USC slugged it out with the Buckeyes last weekend, winning 18-15 USC vs Washington College Football Picks, Predictions & Oddsat the "Horseshoe" in Columbus. The Trojans trailed 15-10 going into the fourth quarter, but put together an amazing 14 play, 86 yard drive that consumed 6:10. The epic possession inevitably ended with a Stafon Johnson touchdown run with just over a minute left in the game.

Freshman quarterback Matt Barkley acquitted himself well in the win, despite the lack of guady numbers. He finished the day 15-of-31 for 195 yards and a touchdown, but he avoided any costly turnovers and remained calm in the face of tremendous pressure.

Barkley did injure his shoulder in the victory and is unlikely to play against the Huskies today. Sophomore Aaron Corp, who many expected to be the Trojans starting quarterback, will step in for Barkley if he is unable to go.

USC's defense proved to be impenetrable once again as it limited the Buckeyes to just 265 yards on their home field.

Washington followed up their stellar but losing effort against LSU in week one with a 42-23 thrashing of the Idaho Vandals at Husky Stadium. New Head Coach Steve Sarkisian, who came over from USC, saw his team accumulate 20 first downs, 374 yards, and 11 third down conversions (14 opportunities). 

Quarterback Jake Locker was fantastic for a second straight week, completing 17-of-25 pass attempts for 253 yards and three touchdowns (all to different receivers). Locker also had six rushes for 18 yards and a score. Redshirt freshman Chris Polk had a soild effort as well, carrying the ball 19 times for 80 yards and a touchdown.

The Husky defense had some issues, though, giving up 412 yards to the Vandals. Idaho, however, could not get it done against the unit where and when it counted, rushing for just 63 yards (2.7 yards per carry) and converting just four third downs in 12 opportunities.
