    LSU had a crap Defense last year too, the game in Vegas could be epic or a Trojan romp! I am more worried about Penn St. and ND than Michigan. The Big House will be a huge factor, but the UM is not the same team as last year. They lost most of their team and their coach. They will probably be good later in the season, but early on I have my doubts.

      ✌️✌️✌️ I do too. I don’t think we are going to dominate on either end but I think offensively we will still have a ten 10 offense and if the defense can just improve a little and be close to top 50.. Lynn inherited a bad UCLA defense and far less talented than USC and look at what they did. Also most big ten offenses are 1 dimensional so we will just have to stack the box. They joke about the Pac12 but the Big ten has no QB play.

    USC offense BETTER than last year. Better o-line, better receivers, more consistent QB play (Caleb doesnt make quick reads), better TE. Score 40 points consistently per game. Defense, Top 25. Danton Lynn got UCLA to top 15 last year. Excellent secondary, linebackers are finally getting good coaching. Great coaching on d-line will unlock Bear, Anthony Lucas steps up, Fountain off the edge. Hold opponents to average 24 points per game.
    USC is NOT going to slow down scoring. A great offense allows the defense to take risks - go for turnovers, negative yardage plays, 3 and outs. The opposite of "bend dont break" philosophy on defense.
    Teams wont be able to keep up with USC.
    Moss and Maeva might be battling all year.

    Please lets not start hyping up SC. Every time they are expected to have a good year, they tank. Every time they are expected to be bad, they over achieve. SC has a very bad time meeting expectations. Its best for everyone just to keep a low expectation of what they can do. They have not been elite in 20 years. Anytime they get ranked inside the top 15 preseason, they tank and end up the year outside the top 25. Let's expect the worse and hope for the best because any little pressure on them and they crumble.

USC still shows signs of how that impacted the program. We when are on, we are on, and no BIG10 team stops usc when usc is rolling. Check your Rose Bowl stats. By the way, usc was elite in 2008!

SC was doing that for decades and now that we can do it legally, they suck? Nah, last year they were coming off a very good first year and they had a Heisman favorite and they laid an egg. This year everyone expects them to suck and they will be good again, just wait. As long as you don't put any pressure on these snowflakes they do well but as soon as they start singing their own tune, they flop. SC has always been like that. They were ranked, preseason #1 when Barkley was the QB and they ended up not even in the top 25. Don't hype them up or they will tank again.

I would love to see this evidence that they have been paying players since the 70's. They had to self impose because the NCAA forced them to. Lincoln Riley and Jen Cohen have been open about not giving out tons of cash to high school kids and would rather do it in the portal because those players have playing experience. Overall, your statement is false.

    Listen, I don’t even have to watch this entire video to tell ya what’s going to happen, period.
    USC will actually take a step back, albeit minor, but they will not have a “successful” season according to the fans and pundits. The defense will not be much better and even if it does progress….the offense will have a much tougher time scoring the points needed to win.
    I mean, Colorado took them to the wire in a 52-46 game (can’t remember the exact score). This USC roster will never match the physicality of the vast majority of their schedule.

Both Penix and rb Johnson had injuries going into that game but it wouldn’t make a difference with Michigan I’ll give you that. USC won’t be playing Michigan every week. Remember, we have played Big ten opponents in the past and have beat teams at the rose bowl, at home, on the road (the horseshoe.) outside of Bama we have dominated the SEC, this narrative has always been there that west coast football isn’t as good as the rest but somehow USC has handled business. Do I think we will be undefeated? No! Do I think it will be an easy year? No. Much respect to the BIG 10 and what they do but we are still USC and we aren’t about to go 0-12 like everyone thinks. If I believe in anything this year it’s coach Lynn. If it was the same bs from last year, same coaches and same defense then I’d agree with you, all I’m saying is we aren’t going to be an easy opponent and we will actually do much better than last year. All we needed last year was a decent defense, we couldn’t stop anyone last year. The coaches we brought in this year, the players we brought in through the TP, we will make some noise. We showed that in the bowl game and that was with a team of back ups. This year we are a closer knit team with kids who believe . Yes! Miller moss is NOT Caleb Williams, but don’t sleep on us.

    LSU has one of the best in not the best O-lines in the CFB. LSU is going to deploy bully ball on USC. We will get to see what that D-line is made of early on. Kaleb Jackson will get 25 carries if the oline is pushing. It will be dink and dunk until the safeties cheat up. Granted it will take Nuss a few quarters to get comfortable with what he will see before taking shots. The ball looks so good coming out of his hand.
    USC lost three players on the oline it will be interesting to see them start to gel. Two new tackles and a new guard. LSU is good on the edge. I have no idea how good if at all in the interior of the defense will be. They have bodies and experience but a bunch of new faces.
    I don't think this will be a high scoring game as I think LSU will take the air out of the ball.

      Good thoughts, but you dont understand USC. Caleb was a problem, yes, I said that, a problem because he isnt real good at getting through reads. He looks incredible ONLY because he holds onto the ball so long and waits for receivers to come wide open. Moss throws into tight windows, reads fast, throw ball away if nothing there. O-line coach is much happier with players this year. O-line transfers did not work out last year, this year, they have developed players they brought in as freshmen. Left side is excellent - Paige, Pregnon, Monheim. Right guard has two good ones competing. Right guard is the big question. USC offense going to stretch field better than anyone, Duce and JaKobi are unique players that are fast, but cant be guarded by small speedy guys. Will not be low scoring.

If however they didn't make major improvements than they may be in trouble. Nuss has all the arm talent in the world but does have a problem with the int, as we saw last season vs Southern when he threw the most insane pick 6 of LSU's season. Both teams have a ton of question marks and the game will be interesting! I laugh at people who just assume one team or the other is going to just run away with this game.

He did throw an int but it wasn't all his fault and it came at the end of the half when he was taking more chances to see if he could get into scoring position before the half. Yes. Nuss will throw more ints than Daniel's. If you watch the Wis games he was dink and dunk until he figured out coverage then he was launching it down field. He rolled up 400 yards passing against a good defense. He showed a kill instinct to lead LSU to a come from behind win.
