No. 20 Oregon’s Trip to No. 12 USC Highlights Huge Weekend in Big Ten Schedule
On Saturday, the 20th-ranked Oregon Ducks face the USC Trojans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a primetime NBC broadcast, with Oregon favored by 2.5 points.
Both programs seek crucial College Football Playoff momentum under coaches Lincoln Riley and Dan Lanning, with the undefeated Trojans facing their first real Big Ten test.
Quarterbacks Jayden Maiava and Dante Moore lead offenses averaging more than 500 yards per game, both strengthening their Heisman Trophy resumes on college football's biggest stage.
Betting markets set the over/under at 62.5 points as USC seeks to validate its 4-0 start after narrowly escaping Rutgers 42-35 last Saturday.
A loss could push Oregon toward College Football Playoff elimination, while the Trojans aim to prove elite status in the biggest intra-regional showdown since the old Pac-12 collapsed three years ago.
