Washington Huskies' defense should give USC offense a strong test
Washington's defense has been the stronger unit for the Huskies so far this season. USC's offense has to take the Huskies seriously
USC football takes on the Washington Huskies this Saturday. According to Huskies Wire, the Trojans' offense is expected to encounter a formidable challenge from the Huskies' defense. The Huskies' front seven has been a highly anticipated unit before the season began, boasting a veteran linebacker corps with Jacob Manu, Xe ree Alexander, Zaydrius Rainey-Sale, and Buddah Al-Uqdah.
This group has been a challenge for opponents, allowing an average of 105 rushing yards per game and recording 8 sacks in the first three games. The defensive line has also gained attention, led by freshman standout Derek Colman-Brusa, senior Elinneus Davis, and transfer Kai McClendon. On the secondary side, second-year Husky Alex McLaughlin has been a standout performer, leading the team in tackles, sacks, and interceptions. Despite being at home, Washington's defense is expected to have an impact on USC's offense.
