Nobody believed it could happen. The Huskies had not won a road game over a ranked team - ironically, also against USC - since 2010. The Huskies hadn't beaten a ranked team at all since UW beat Boise State in the opening of the new Husky Stadium. Heck, Chris Petersen had not notched a win against a winning FBS team since he took over the program.
But, Chris Petersen had also never lost a game following a BYE week. Never. Not once.
The culmination of a myriad of lines of frustration that have been plaguing Husky coaches, Husky players, and Husky fans terminated in one glorious moment when the Huskies upset Steve Sarkisian and his USC Trojans 17-12 in the LA Coliseum on Thursday night.
