USC’s Mind Games Fall Short, As Do The Trojans: Huskies Win, 32-31

UW gains some good yardage on the ground, but once Polk's running lanes begin to compress, Locker takes to the air, and throws three incompletions in four tries. It should be noted that he's displaying little of the discombobulation that plagued him last week against Nebraska, and the announcers are openly discussing his lack of support.

USC runs into much the same trouble: Allen Bradford runs five times in a row for increasingly meaningless gains, Matt Barkley throws an incomplete pass, and a 40-yard field goal attempt sails wide.

Time is about to become a factor in the Coliseum. Washington takes over on their own 23 with 2:34 remaining.

By 0:23 on the clock, UW is in range for a 32-yard field goal. Lane Kiffin calls one icing timeout, then another.

It doesn't work. The kick sails high and true. Washington wins, 32-31, and now owns a two-game win streak over USC. Pinch yourselves.
