The No. 23 USC Trojans are set to take on the No. 13 LSU Tigers in the 2024 Modelo Vegas Kickoff Classic at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, Sept, 1. USC is looking to improve upon its 8-5 record in 2023, but will have to do so without 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. Miller Moss is set to take over for Williams in Lincoln Riley's explosive offensive attack. Likewise, LSU has to deal with the loss of a Heisman Trophy winner (Jayden Daniels), and is coming off a solid 10-3 season in 2023. Garrett Nussmeier is set to take over as the Tigers' starting quarterback.
Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The Tigers are 4.5-point favorites in the latest LSU vs. USC odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 66.5. LSU is a -185 (risk $185 to win $100) favorite on the money line, with USC listed as a +153 underdog (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college football odds page).
