No. 5 Washington visits No. 24 USC on Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Coliseum for a showdown with national title implications. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

Caleb Williams was lying disconsolate on his couch a few hours after Southern California’s season-crushing loss to Utah two weeks ago when he got on the phone with coach Lincoln Riley.

Although the Trojans’ national title dreams were all but dashed by two straight defeats, the Heisman Trophy winner and his mentor just didn’t think their probable final season together was anywhere near finished.

Winning the final three games of this disappointing season for the 24th-ranked Trojans (7-2, 5-1 Pac-12) would now qualify as something crazy. Since mid-September, USC has looked nothing like a contender for any title — yet the Trojans are still firmly in the running for the Pac-12 championship, and Williams still hasn’t given up hope of sneaking into the College Football Playoff.

The Trojans honestly seem overdue for an impressive performance after weeks of underachievement. They have their last chance Saturday as Coliseum underdogs against No. 5 Washington (8-0, 5-0).

The Huskies are unbeaten, but barely. They’ve stayed on the tightrope leading to the CFP with narrow escapes from their last two games against rebuilding Arizona State and Stanford.

While they haven’t looked great since holding off Oregon three weeks ago, the Huskies’ goals are still achievable. Coach Kalen DeBoer thinks his team has learned tenacity it can apply to the stretch run.

When is Washington-USC?

USC faces Washington at 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. ET) on Saturday, Nov. 4.
