USC Football: Key Trojans Weapon Posts Cryptic Message on Social Media Ahead of Washington Game

Is this a good sign?
In this story:

The USC Trojans will need a lot of help to get to the playoffs this season, which will mean they need to take down the higher-ranked opponents. They will have that opportunity this weekend when they take on #5 ranked Washington. 

Despite Caleb Williams having some missteps in last Saturday's game against Cal, the Trojans pulled off a huge win. His ability to rebound later in the game was key to the victory, though Washington has a much tougher defense to deal with. 

The good news is that Williams could have additional help on the receiver front, as Raleek Brown is hinting at showing up after dealing with his nagging hamstring injury. Though he has not confirmed his return, his X (formerly Twitter) might be a good indication he is coming back to the lineup. 

Simply stating "show time" is not a confirmation that Raleek Brown will return for tomorrow's game. However, it could be that the Trojans are waiting to formally announce his return.

Brown will be a much-needed addition to the offense that is weighing on freshman Zachariah Branch and sophomore Kyron Hudson. 

Washington is no pushover team, and the Trojans will need to play a near-perfect game to take them down and ensure their place among the top-ranked Pac-12 teams. 

Should Raleek be back this week, it certainly gives USC a much better chance on the offensive side of the ball. The defense will also need to show up big time, much like they did towards the latter half of the game against Cal.
