USC
This will be similar to when USC played MIchigan. BLOWOUT
USC is now healthy, not to mention just flat out better at every position on the field. USC's speed will control the whole game.

Ill and over!

[rcmcd]

Really like the Illini in a game that USC could take lightly. Ill. is def. underated and their QB could give all kinds of problems to USC.

USC crushes

Usc 47-17

Does this wind in the forecast change anyone's opinion? I saw 25-40 mph with gusts up to 50. Two TDs usually pretty nice in a wind game.

I don't follow college much. How do the rush offenses and rush defenses stack up against each other?

ILL wont run on USC

USC makes a statement for Being #1...should cover 14.......

Reason
USC has a better D than most people realize.....Ill gets behind, and they won't be able to play catch up, whereas if USC gets behind, they have the weapons to play catch up....

I see it close in the first 1/2, then USC will make adjustments and exploit Ill in the 2nd 1/2, and predominantly in the 4th....IMO.......USC by 21
