There are flea-flickers, and then there is the gem USC pulled off Saturday night.

The 20th-ranked Trojans were looking for some momentum during the first half of their contest against No. 5 Washington, which led 35-28 at the half.

And USC ran one of the prettiest plays of the year.

Defending Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams handed the ball off to Zachariah Branch on a jet sweep, which seemed like it would be stuffed immediately.

But Branch cut back to his right as Williams backed up a couple steps. Branch then lateraled the ball back to Williams, who heaved a pass downfield to Tahj Washington, who was wide open for a score.

When he scored, Washington did his best Victor Cruz salsa dance in the end zone.

The touchdown put USC up 28-21 with just over four minutes to go in the first half, but it lost momentum quickly.

Washington scored a touchdown with just over a minute left in the half, and then Williams lost a fumble on the ensuing drive inside USC's own 20. Three plays later, the Huskies scored another touchdown on Dillon Johnson's third of the half.

The matchup figured to be a shootout. Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has joined the Heisman conversation. While Williams isn't replicating his Heisman campaign from last year, he still is likely to be the top selection in the NFL Draft next year if he enters. 

USC is coming off a 50-49 win over California on the road, a game it trailed by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Washington is looking to go 9-0 on the season.

The Golden State Warriors began the 2022-23 season with hopes of defending their NBA title. But an altercation between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole brought the team unwanted attention.

The Warriors never seemed to shake the impact of Green's now-infamous punch of Poole. Although the team had a relatively successful season, it did not regain its championship form.

The Warriors traded Poole to the Washington Wizards during the offseason and hope to replace his on-court production with veteran guard Chris Paul. 

Many placed blame for the Warriors' struggles at the feet of Poole, but head coach Steve Kerr isn't blaming Poole.

"First of all, I think it's unfair for people to just point at Jordan [Poole]," Kerr said on Bay Area sports radio station 95.7 The Game. "That's wrong.. .. Jordan was fantastic while he was here. He helped us win a championship. I hate that he gets any criticism. Last year went wrong for a number of reasons, and we all share the blame in that."

Green recently shared his thoughts on what went wrong last season, saying the team's lack of overall chemistry contributed to the disappointing results.

"Last year, we had an awful team as far as chemistry goes — pathetic," Green said Thursday. "You look at last year and say, 'Ah man, this team hasn't lost a Western Conference series under Steve Kerr.' And then it happens. The big reason why is our chemistry sucked."

Although it's only a small sample size, the Warriors do not seem to have chemistry-related issues this year. The team has gotten off to a 5-1 start.

Paul is averaging just under 30 minutes per game, while superstar guard Steph Curry is having another prolific offensive season averaging 30.8 points per game.

Poole won an NBA title during his stint In Golden State and at times carried the team during its 2022 championship run.

Poole addressed the incident with Green after the season.

"I don’t speak on it much. But I will say … you’ve got to have a different level of maturity. We had a season to play." Poole told ESPN in May. "You’re going to have to play with these people in the locker room, and that’s why I said maturity is a big thing."
