Don't miss out on my showdown play as ESPN Gameday heads to USC for the match up between Stanford and the Trojans.

USC +4.5 2.75* PLAY
Stanford has got to be due for a hangover after the mental preparation that was needed to defeat Oregon on the road. I don't care how smart these guys are and it's not like their offense is blowing teams away it's been the play of the defense that has mattered and USC can absolutely match them there especially in their own building. I see USC coming up with a shocking win here as USC poses a completely different threat with the talented receivers and aerial game that they have. Mariotta and Oregon is a finesse team that relies more on the spread and run game than they do a passing pro style offense like USC.

Like I mentioned Stanford won't run away with this one and USC is ranked 22nd in sack % and 24th in run defense with only 1 team rushing for more than 200 yards all year. That one team was Arizona State and it came on the road in Lane Kiffin's last game. This is a completely different USC team and they are allowing less than 3 yards per carry at home. Stanford has to run the ball to win and they tend to play in close games against defense that can match them physically like Utah did. Utah was allowing 1 yard per run more than USC and they got the win. I look for USC to really come up with their biggest win in many years.
