The defensive front will dominate again
USC will be without its starting center. The Trojans might be without their starting left tackle, too. He was part of the offensive line that got abused in Ann Arbor last season.
Jaishawn Barham has been a force since moving to EDGE. My guess is that he gets even more snaps this week against USC, along with Rod Moore, who was dynamic in 18 snaps against Wisconsin.
Derrick Moore had four pressures and a sack last week. This also feels like a game where Rayshaun Benny and the other interior tackles can shine. USC will struggle to run the ball, as most teams have against Michigan.
The Trojans will hit some big plays and score 4-5 times, but the inability to run, and the inability to stop the run, will cost USC, just like last season.
