We are buyers on the revamped USC defense operated by new coordinator by Hall of Famer Gary Patterson. It has yielded just one rushing TD in two games. The D even pulled off a pair of safeties in blanking Fresno State. For Louisiana, the scheduling leap from an FCS foe (Lamar) to a national title contender is beyond ambitious. As if the Trojans needed another edge: Kickoff is 10 p.m. (CT), an absurd late show for the Cajuns.
In nine August/September non-conference home games under Lincoln Riley, USC has averaged approximately 55 points per game. USC opponents have averaged 15 PPG in those contests (despite two shutouts). I know that my over trend failed last week but I also didn’t expect Fresno State’s offense to be flat out incompetent against the Trojans. In this late start on Saturday, the biggest question I have is which number will be greater – the number of times Louisiana scores or the number of times they stop USC? It will be close. USC 49, Louisiana 20.
