I figured this at SC-17. When is the last time a 9-1 team got +20 in its home town against a very unimpressive defense?
Mackey Award candidate Marcedes Lewis will score 18 himself,figure the little guy is good for one special team score against USC's terrible kick defense.Drew Olsen,he of 30 td's and only 3picks has had two weeks plus an off season of film study-is totally healthy and chomping at the bit. Drew will not pull a Pinegar or Ayoob (multiple int's).
Yes UCLA sucks on defense-especialy against the run-thats why this will be a 20 carry game for Lendale-keep the bruins off the field-but that means USC will not be in the fifties. Worst case is SC 49 to thirty something. Probably be like last year which wasn't a shootout at all. UCLA scored 21 each of the last three years when SC had great defense.
The bad news for west coast haters is USC still goes to RoseBowl/National Title game with a close loss to a top six team(if UCLA wins yeah they will move way up).
