another big game day...............................



huskies vs. USC
If Washington coach Steve Sarkisian had his way, the Huskies coming off their first win in 22 months and preparing to face No. 3 USC in the Pac-10 Conference opener on Saturday would be the only story line of interest. But that's not the case this week with the unavoidable connections between the Huskies and Trojans. And none is bigger than Sarkisian, the former USC offensive coordinator and whiz-kid, facing his mentor in Southern Cal coach Pete Carrol.

Seattle Sounders FC and Chivas USA meet for the third time this season in a vital game for both clubs in the Western Conference race. The teams are separated by just a single point in the standings, and while both hold playoff spots at the moment, it is by the slimmest of margins. Sounders FC won for the second time in three road games last weekend, defeating D.C. United, while Chivas snapped a two-game losing skid with a 2-0 home win against New England. Chivas won both earlier meetings between the teams, each played at their Home Depot Center home.
