REACTION: Washington CHOKES AWAY Lead In 25-21 Loss At USC

Jedd Fisch, Demond Williams Jr., and the Washington Huskies let a second-half lead slip away to Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans on the road for their second straight loss in Big Ten play. Can the Huskies right the ship before it's too late?

Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Locked On USC's Mark Culkin break down the ugly but pivotal win at the LA Coliseum, spotlighting Jakheem Stewart’s scoop-and-score that changed the game on a Williams fumble and USC’s defensive performance. Key storylines include Williams’ struggles for Washington, Brian Bonner’s emergence in the Huskies’ backfield, and the Trojans’ miscues in an all-around ugly football game. With USC’s offense misfiring and both squads plagued by penalties and missed opportunities, the hosts explore whether the Huskies can rise to the challenge against upcoming Big Ten opponents like Iowa and Purdue.
