When Sam Darnold took the field at Husky Stadium on Saturday, he was expected to be the second-best quarterback in the house. Instead, the USC gunslinger put on a show against the elite Washington defense, earning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors as a result.
Darnold finished with a stat line of 287 yards on 23-of-33 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also used his fee to run for 15 yards on four carries. His quarterback rating of 150 was the highest by a Husky opponent all season.
Those stats hardly do his performance justice.
