TWTW: What In The Hell Is Going On In Washington...??? Or: "Clear Is Folk...?"

((HT: KOMO-TV))

Erik Folk kicked a 22-yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining and the Huskies' fired-up defense stymied fill-in quarterback Aaron Corp and No. 3 USC in a 16-13 victory Saturday.

It was the first time the Trojans have lost to the UW Huskies since 2001 - and the first time UW has beat the Trojans at Husky Stadium since 1996.

It was Washington quarterback Jake Locker's time to shine and the Huskies' turn pull out a win that will stand among the most memorable in the once-proud program's history. Locker drove the Huskies 63 yards on 10 plays to set up the winning kick.

USC (2-1, 0-1 Pac-10) was nearly a three-touchdown favorite. Washington (2-1, 1-0) came in riding a 10-game losing streak in Pac-10 games and had broken a 15-game overall skid last week against Idaho.

But again the Trojans were toppled by a team that seemed to be no match for all their blue chip recruits and future NFL draft picks. USC has now lost to an unranked team each of the last four seasons.

And Wazzu beat SMU...???
Whasupwidat???!!!

Nico Grasu kicked a 39-yard field goal in overtime as Washington State came back from a 17-point deficit to beat Southern Methodist 30-27 on Saturday for its first win of the season.The Mustangs (2-1) had the first drive of overtime. But Bo Levi Mitchell threw deep into the end zone on the first play and was picked off by Chima Nwachukwu. It was Washington State's fourth interception of the game.

The Cougars (1-2) took over on the 25 and gained just three yards on three plays before Grasu's game winner. Earlier in the game he missed a 39-yard field goal.

It was the first time Washington State had led all season.

What is this world coming to...???
By the way, if you listened to the OSG C/PC College Football Preview, we kinda called that...
