The national media darlings so far have to be USC. You see, the national loves a gunslinger, and sophomore quarterback Sam Darnold is all that and more. But, the Pac-12 is filled with great quarterback play. And that quarterback play has swept up national sportscasters in the Pac-12 debate. Can the Washington Football team win? Right now, that debate is short of support for the Washington Football team. Washington quarterback Jake Browning simply throws touchdowns. But national sportscasters want more?
Despite his propensity for throwing interceptions, and for pulling out games against unranked opponents, USC quarterback Sam Darnold has most of the national media oohing and ahhing.
