Rain was falling at CenturyLink Field here in Seattle, but no longer.

At least for now.

Washingtonis playing home games in this NFL stadium while it’s campus facility is renovated, but the end zones here are not painted to reflect a Huskies presence.

Instead, it’s SEAHAWKS.

Washington is 3-0 at CenturyLink Field, having beaten San Diego State, Portland State and Stanford.

Last week, the Huskies got clobbered at Oregon.

This is USC’s fourth road trip in six games.

The Trojans are hoping to avoid a start similar to the one they escaped at Utah on Oct. 4. Bad snaps led to two Utah touchdowns.
