Will the Michigan defense travel?
This USC offense is no joke. The Trojans rank third in all of college football with an average of 48.4 points per game.
The offense is led by Jayden Maiava, who is leading the Big Ten in passing yards (1,587). He's thrown 11 touchdowns this season compared to one interception. Maiava can run, too. He's only got 57 yards on 20 attempts but has four touchdown runs.
Makai Lemon leads the Big Ten with 35 receptions for 589 yards. He's also got five touchdowns. The Wolverines shut down Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams last season. They will need to deploy that gameplan once again.
USC can run, too. The Trojans are rushing for 227 yards per game. Waymond Jordan has 537 rushing yards and is getting seven yards per attempt.
Everyone will be focused on the pass defense. But, Michigan better stop the run, too. This will be a huge challenge. Maybe even bigger than Oklahoma.
We'll see if Wink Martindale is up to the test.
