Didn't find a true generic thread for USC, so I guess this one will do. #17 USC just shit the bed at home against unranked Washington 17-12, their second straight conference loss at home. I wonder if USC will even still be ranked after this...

Football is 100% physical, 100% mental.
Not a bad set of predictions...

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
I don't think it's even a question, considering USC was ranked in the bottom half of the top 25 to begin with, Washington was unranked, the game was a home game for USC, and USC was a 17 (!) point favorite.

Watched the first half, there was some really good offense on both sides of the ball. Just saw the score, hahahaha.

Those are the kind of losses that cost drunken embarrassments of coaches their jobs.
USC was clearly outplayed and out coached by a younger, less talented team.

Loss to UW makes clear USC made wrong decision in hiring Sarkisian

LOS ANGELES — Win Forever. That’s the catch phrase, ethos and inspirational book Pete Carroll left behind after his nine-year stint at USC ended in 2010. He resurrected the program back into college football’s elite and ever since USC has flailed in its attempts to chase those highs.
At the LA Coliseum on Thursday night, USC got another reminder of why it should have deviated from Uncle Pete’s coaching tree. As USC wheezed, sputtered and pre-snap retreated its way to a 17–12 loss to pedestrian Washington (3–2), the Trojan faithful saw up-close the coach they let slip away.
Chris Petersen, then at Boise State, interviewed for the USC job following the 2013 season. The USC brass dismissed Petersen as not dynamic enough and too unwilling to handle the media and booster obligations that go hand-in-hand with the biggest football job in Los Angeles.
So USC athletic director Pat Haden went back to the Win Forever well, hiring Steve Sarkisian from Washington as a replacement for his old co-offensive coordinator, Lane Kiffin.
But perhaps more tellingly, USC hired a familiar face from USC’s Never Never Land—a time that USC officials remember more for the wins and attention than the cheating and NCAA sanctions that followed. After a program-defining loss filled with bad penalties and questionable game management, it’s clear that USC’s decision to hire Sarkisian has left the Trojans stuck in the past, like Uncle Rico chasing state.
