USC vs Stanford Prediction
Last time out, USC opened their season with a 66-14 demolition of the Rice Owls. It was a slow start for the Trojans, with the game tied at seven after the first quarter, but the USC offense woke up and scored 20+ points in the second and third quarters to run away with this one. Caleb Williams went 19/22 for 249 yards, two touchdowns, zero interception, and added 68 yards on the ground. Austin Jones had two rushing touchdowns ad Jordan Addison hauled in both receiving touchdowns. Defensively, the Trojans allowed 280 total yards and forced four Rice interceptions.
Stanford hosted the Colgate Raiders and easily won 41-10. Like USC, it was a slow start, as the game was tied at seven early in the second quarter, but the Stanford offense work up and they were leading 28-7 by halftime. Tanner McKee went 22/27 for 308 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. E.J. Smith, the son of Emmitt Smith, ran the ball 11 times for 118 yards and two touchdowns. Michael Wilson hauled in both touchdown passes. Defensively, the Cardinal allowed 218 total yards and forced one Colgate interception.
Series History: Stanford won last season’s meeting, 42-28, but USC still leads the all-time series 62-34-3.
Pick: It took a little white to get going, but we saw a little of what this USC offense is capable of this season. Stanford should be much improved over last season, but the Trojans win this one by 10+.
