I don't disagree that SECw teams play us tough, but I guess we just have a different view of USC. I think they are contending for the PAC 12 champ, even though they have a notable weakness. There offensive line is going to be among the best in the country and they are loaded at all skill positions. USC's weak point will be stopping the run. Depending on how bad this is, it may kill their season. Other than that, they are very deep.
I hope we win by 16, but the 16 point spread is pretty much shocking to me, and I can't begin to figure what football related reason there could be for it.
