4* Money Maker
(NCAAF) Arizona State vs. USC,
Point Spread: -22.00 | -110.00 USC (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking USC. So - Do I think the Trojans are a Top 5 team. Probably not. They are getting loads of help on the defensive side of the ball that has helped them to a +14 turnover margin. Wow. New HC Lincoln Riley probably loves that, who wouldn't. But that won't last all season. Good news - they probably don't need 4 turnovers to cover this number - I'll take 2 or 3 though! Look. We had Utah last week and then Arizona State canned Herm. Now you have a team off a 21pt trying to stay focused on a lost season. What kids are even thinking of staying with this program? Some might defect across the field at half-time. I'm sure the new HC will remind some of his guys how ASU beat them last year 31-16. A little extra motivation doesn't hurt. SC does like to run it and have 2 backs averaging 7ypr with 3 TDs each. QB Williams is solid with 9 TDs 0 INTs and 1000 yards through the air. A nice balanced attack. Don't be fooled by 34-13 loss to Utah. This ASU team was down 24-3 then hit a FG at 000s heading into the half. Then a meaningless TD down 34-6 to make it a lot closer than it was. UTAH gashed them for over 200 yards on the ground and 260 in the air. A 500 + yard night of offense is on the horizon tonight. 4* Money Maker USC
