When USC comes to Husky Stadium on Saturday for a crucial game against the No. 4 Huskies — one that Browne once had circled on his calendar as a triumphant return to his hometown — he will arrive in a special kind of limbo.
There are strains of wistfulness in Max Browne’s voice these days. But he voiced no regret, no second-guessing of himself as he nears the end of a bitterly disappointing stint at USC.
“At every point of the way, I look back and I made the right decision with the information I have,’’ he said in a phone interview.
