Washington hosts USC in a Big Ten football game this November. Wait a minute. That doesn’t sound right at all … but it’s reality. Welcome to the new and bizarre world in which four West Coast schools are part of the conference of the Upper Midwest in the United States. USC should, at this point, feel optimistic about that Big Ten road trip to Seattle. Why?
The Wilner Hotline offered this early assessment of the 2024 Huskies on the gridiron:
The Hotline holds a negative outlook for Washington in Fisch’s first season, for a slew of reasons: The disruption caused by the coaching change; the massive loss of talent, especially at quarterback, receiver and offensive line; and the difficulties posed by life in the Big Ten.
The Huskies won 14 games last season and played for the national championship, but that’s not our standard in 2024. Our standard is winning eight or nine games and competing for a top-tier finish in the Big Ten.
And we don’t see that happening.
It could be a long fall on Montlake.
USC visits Washington and Husky Stadium on November 2.
