This week's theme continues to be reinforced.
With two former USC coordinators in charge of Washington's attack -- head coach Steve Sarkisian with the offense and defensive coordinator Nick Holt with the Husky defense -- the Trojans will be very familiar with what they'll see on the other side of the ball come Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
With one very big, very quick and very dynamic caveat -- Husky quarterback Jake Locker.
"You're going up against our offense and up against our defense," Coach Carroll told the players during Tuesday's team meeting. "It's almost like we're scrimmaging ourselves -- with one exception. They have Jake Locker. He's a war daddy and he's really fast."
But even with Locker at quarterback, the Trojans still have the familiarity with Washington's schemes, and Carroll's making sure no one -- coaches and players included -- is overanalyzing the matchup.
"You have a lot of knowledge, but let's not think too much," Carroll said Tuesday. "We've just got to go play football."
