The No. 5 Huskies arrive with their own Heisman Trophy candidate, QB Michael Penix Jr., to pose the latest test for the No. 20 Trojans’ scuffling defense
The USC football team, seen before its game against Cal on Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, in Berkeley, has given up an average of 42.6 points in its past five games going into Saturday’s home showdown against Washington. LOS ANGELES — For five minutes straight, Alex Grinch propped up a verbal Trojan sword and flung himself on it, taking a fall repeatedly in the span of three questions Tuesday.
“Trying to, kind of, shock and awe the guys a little bit,” Grinch said Tuesday, when asked about an early-game tirade where he was visibly slapping the turf in a sideline huddle with players. Reward has been there – USC’s defense is ranked third in the FBS in tackles for loss – but risk has reigned, with quarterbacks too often threading through collapsing pockets and finding receivers open due to poor coverage technique., to keep Pac-12 hopes alive Saturday, it will need a much healthier balance of reward against fifth-ranked Washington and an offense sparkling with playmakers that should present one of the more entertaining games of the college football season.Michael Penix Jr.
“He does a great job of being able to manipulate, move around in the pocket while still keeping his eyes down the field,” Inge said. “He can feel where a pressure point may be coming.”USC gets another local cornerback commit in Loyola sophomore Brandon Lockhart
