At 9:00pm ET, my Game Of the Week is on St. Mary's. St. The Gaels allow only 64.8 points per game, which is significantly less han the 70.5 points per game that USC's defense gives up. All of the Trojans wins have come against fairly weak teams. They lost to Cal. St. Mary's win neutral site win over Nebraska was more impressive than anything USC has accomplished. The Gaels play a controlled, slower-paced game that wears down opponents. They're excellent at dictating the tempo and reducing the number of possessions. That's going to prove effective against a USC team which has shown inconsistency on both sides of the ball. Those early season inconsistencies are expected from the Trojans as returned 0 starters from last year's team and have a new coach. They aren't ready for what St. Mary's will bring to the table. Lay the points.
