#5 USC @ [#32] Cal (Sat., 9/23, 12:30 p.m., ABC)

Post by Greenblood »

Obviously a huge game for Cal, a chance to "show the world" that they're legit. USC has looked vulnerable in two of their three games so far, so I'd think that Cal fans have to think they have a shot at home. I'll say the Trojans win, and hope they do convincingly (though I realize that may seem blasphemous), primarily because I want the Bears' confidence to be knocked down a notch when they head to Autzen next week. Hard for me to believe that Cal really has the talent to keep this up against good teams. We'll see.

USC had to use a lot of energy and emotion late in their game which could give Cal a chance to do the same thing by having a bad or slow first half of the game which leads to Cal having the same problem against us the following week. I think it will be a close game where the score at the end doesn't show how close it really was for SC.

USC already has had a couple scares. I think they come to play and punch Cal in the mouth.

CAL looks pretty good. Solid defense and well coached on offense. They have Baldwin as OC right?

Cal looks pretty good actually. They are playing pretty good D, but it’s now USC 13-10.

USC is definitely going to lose at least one Pac 12 game, maybe this one.
