USC vs Washington State Game Preview

Why Washington State Will Win

The Cougars have the makeup and potential to finally be able to crack the USC code.

The Trojans are struggling on defense, but they’re able to come up with the really big plays at the right time. However, Washington State has been able to push past its mistakes – just budget in two turnovers and go from there – to keep on winning.

The pass rush is right there with the best in the nation – you have to pressure Caleb Williams and not let the downfield plays develop – and the run defense is allowing fewer than 100 yards per game.

Can Wazzu handle itself in a tough situation? It managed to come through late against Wisconsin to pull out the win even though things weren’t going all that well, it rallied back to give Oregon problems at home in a shootout loss, and …

Why USC Will Win

Yeah, the Cougar turnovers.

USC has a funky way of raising its game when it absolutely has to.

Oregon State should’ve won in the 17-14 loss. It held down the Trojan offense, it had everything here for the taking, and then Caleb Williams marched the attack to the game-winning drive to pull it out of the fire.

The four takeaways from the D helped.

Stanford was able to move the ball with almost perfect balance, and it all went bye-bye with USC taking the ball away five times.

Washington State has been able to get away with multiple turnovers in all five games, and it’ll be in big trouble against USC depending on the timing of the mistakes.

The more pressure on Ward, the better, and here comes the Pac-12’s leading pass rush to force him to hurry and force those turnovers.

What’s Going To Happen

Again, USC has a way of figuring this out.

Just when you think it might be in big trouble, it makes a big play look so easy it seems like there was never anything to worry about.

This is a dangerous Washington State team that does a whole lot of things right, but the inability to keep Ward from getting hit will be the downfall on a few key second half drives.

It’s 2022 USC. There will be just enough brilliance sprinkled in with a whole lot of frustration.

USC (1-1) vs Washington State (1-1) Game Preview

Why USC Will Win

The talent is there – it’s just not playing well.

There’s never a good time to fire a head coach who needs to go, but two games into a season certainly doesn’t do much for a team trying to figure it all out on the fly.

It wasn’t just one bad day against Stanford that launched Clay Helton – it was the direction of the program all while UCLA appears to be ascending. There’s enough in place to turn this around fast, though, and now the pressure is essentially off.  There won’t be a weekly Helton On The Hot Seat thing.

It’ll be up to new interim head man Donte Williams to take a team full of good players and making it all work, and it starts with the passing game going off.

Kedon Slovis hasn’t been bad, and this week he should throw at will against a Washington State defense that doesn’t have a pass rush and struggled in its first two games. Once the O gets going, everything else should fall into place.

Why Washington State Will Win

So what’s really the problem at USC?

It was able to get by San Jose State with relative ease, and chalk up the Stanford game to a bad day. However, there hasn’t been anything from the defensive line so far – it’s not getting behind the line – and there are WAY too many penalties and mistakes so far.

Wazzu has a similar problem to USC’s – the talent in place isn’t producing yet.

Turnovers aren’t an issue, and the parts are there to start doing a whole lot more to keep the chains moving, and again, USC probably won’t bring the pressure.

What’s Going To Happen

USC is okay.

Washington State lost to Utah State and wasn’t great against Portland State, but the Pac-12 season starts now and there couldn’t be a better time to try pulling this off.

Instead of melting down, watch out for the Trojans to start playing looser and better. The defense will be okay, but it’s the offensive side that will quickly take over with a huge day from the passing attack.

Why Washington State Will Win

The offense hasn’t quite worked like it normally does at Washington State, but the passing game clicked against Oregon, the ground game was fine against Oregon State, and starting QB Jayden de Laura is fine and ready to go.

The offensive line is doing a strong job at keeping defenses out of the backfield, there’s been only one turnover, and there’s enough pop and explosion – and time to prepare – to keep up with a USC offense that’s been fine, but hasn’t quite blown up yet.

Unlike the Wazzu O line, the USC offensive front is having problems against teams that can get behind the line. The Cougars don’t have a big-time pass rush, but they should be able to generate pressure.

– Week 14 College Schedule

Why USC Will Win

Did USC find something that works against Utah? It was the team’s lowest yardage output yet, but it was an effective performance against a tough team.

The defensive side came up with its best performance of the season, was fantastic against the run, and it came through when needed with the key plays to prevent the drama from the first two games.

Kedon Slovis might not be ripping it up quite as well as expected, but USC still leads the Pac-12 in passing, and it’s still a positive that the team is 3-0 even though things aren’t working quite right.

Washington State hasn’t done much defensively, the line should be shoved a bit against the run, and there isn’t much of a worry about turnovers – Wazzu isn’t taking it away enough to matter.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s a strange Sunday game going on just after both the Rams and Chargers are finishing up.

USC’s offense will finally start to look the part, but Washington State will bring just enough offensive production for a full four quarters to make this interesting. The Trojans will have enough balance to keep things moving with third down conversion after third down conversion.
