Seattle — Without Matt Barkley, USC wouldn’t have the number 3 in the nation slot. That showed this evening.
USC backup quarterback Aaron Corp, a redshirt sophomore making his first career start, was 13 for 22 for 110 yards with one interception against the Huskies in their 13-16 loss in the final seconds that starts their Pac 10 season.
After a Joe McKnight fumble and a long Washington drive to the USC 4. Washington called timeout and called kicker Erik Folk out on to the field with 7 seconds remaining. From 22 yards, Folk hit the field goal for the lead, 16-13.
Now 3 seconds to go, Folk squibbed it. Running out the time.
“Our kids played very hard. I don’t know if we played very good, but we played hard,” Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian said. “It’s unbelievable. It’s what we were hoping for. We’re trying hard.”
USC is now 2-1 (0-1) and hosts Washington State next week, Washington is now 2-1 (1-0) and will play at Stanford next week.
