USC Football: New positives but same problems vs. Washington State

After a humbling loss at the hands of the Texas Longhorns, USC football came into the Washington State game knowing that it was a must-win. The Trojans were playing to keep the Pac-12 Championship and Rose Bowl a live option, and to keep head coach Clay Helton off the hot seat.

They were predicted to win the game by 4.5 points, so we knew the game would be close.

Like the UNLV game, it was a mixture of good and bad, and while USC did get the win, in many ways there are still just as many questions as there answers.
