Woulda..Shoulda..Coulda.. you can hear USC fans muttering to themselves as
Trojan miscues led to all 17 points (14 in the first 5:20),as the Huskies
held off a late Trojan drive with a interception by Tommie Smith to preserve
a 17-10 victory. In what was called the "Shootout in Seattle", turned into
the "Slugfest in Seattle" where both defenses held each of the opposing 
offenses in check, where the Trojans kept both Beno Bryant and Napoleon Kaufman
(not McCallum :)) in check and the Huskies,with a fierce pass rush, knocked out
Rob Johnson with a mild concussion,and also kept Reggie Perry,and redshirt
freshman QB Kyle Wachholtz in check the rest of the way. Here are the stats:

PLAYERS OF THE GAME:

USC:

Defense: Jason Sehorn
Offense: Estrus Crayton


WASH:

Defense: Tommie Smith
Offense: Billy Joe Hobert


ANALYSIS: TURNOVERS!,TURNOVERS!,TURNOVERS!. You simply can't turn the ball over
          as many times that USC did and expect to win, especially to the #1
          team in the nation. Pass protection was again non-existent which gave
          the Huskies' blitzing defense the red carpet treatment to whoever SC
          had at QB. If improvement is made in these areas throughout the rest
          of the season, USC will be ok.

          On defense the Trojans have really been showing marked improvement
          from game to game, which has been keeping SC in the ball game. I feel
          by the way the defense has been playing lately, if only the turnovers
          had been kept to the minimum,SC could very well be undefeated by now.
          Since the next three games for SC are at home,a place that SC hasnt
          seen yet this year!


          FIGHT ON,
          Valdis
