USC 43-point favorite over UW

The Trojans have been installed as a 43-point favorite over the Huskies for Saturday's game in Los Angeles.

As far as I know, this is the largest spread ever against UW, at least in the era of the Pac-10. The largest spread I have been able to find against UW came in 2004 in the same venue, when the Huskies were 35-point underdogs at USC.

The Trojans were ranked No. 1 at the time while the Huskies were giving Isaiah Stanback his first start at QB. USC won that game 38-0, the only shutout for UW since 1981.

EDIT --- This post has been updated since I first wrote it as the official line we publish in the Times shows USC as a 43-point favorite. The Trojans were also a 43-point favorite at WSU two weeks ago, which at the time was regarded as the biggest spread for a game between two Pac-10 teams.
