USC vs Washington Kickoff Time Set For November 12 Game In Seattle

The kickoff time for USC vs Washington on November 12 in Seattle was announced Monday morning with a start time of 4:30 p.m. on FOX.

USC’s string of evening kickoffs will continue into the second week of November as the pivotal match up between the Trojans and the Huskies will air in primetime on FOX. Kickoff time has been set for 4:30 p.m. at Husky Stadium in Seattle.

The game on November 12 could be a key fixture in the Pac-12 slate with both Washington and USC vying for postseason honors.

For the Huskies, a win over USC would keep them on the path to a spot in the College Football Playoff. For the Trojans, victory over Washington would boost hopes of rallying for a repeat appearance in the Pac-12 Championship Game.

For both sides, of course, there are hurdles to clear before their meeting.

USC will host Oregon at the Coliseum this Saturday, looking to avenge last year’s embarrassing loss at the hands of the Ducks.

The Huskies, meanwhile, will travel to Memorial Stadium in Berkeley to take on the Cal Bears, who are undefeated at home this season.

Should both USC and Washington get through the next week unscathed, the two may meet in a ranked match up. The Huskies are currently ranked No. 4 while the Trojans are the second team receiving votes outside of the AP Top 25. Beating Oregon soundly could see USC return to the poll for the first time since losing their preseason rank on opening weekend.

Last year, Washington came to the Coliseum on a Thursday night and upset the Trojans in a tight defensive game. It was the final outing for USC head coach Steve Sarkisian, who was fired for behavioral reasons the weekend after the loss.

Sarkisian’s replacement, Clay Helton now has the chance to take revenge for the loss by derailing Chris Petersen and the Huskies season.
