USC at Nebraska

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are off to a 5-1 start and their is no question this team likes to dictate tempo and their play has shown success in doing exactly that. They have already played three games this season where the total shots by both teams has been under 100, so expect them to come out at home against USC and put the defensive clamps on the Trojans early, while using the shot clock and making them defend deep into each possession. The Trojans, at 3-3, have not been over the 64 point mark in each of their last five. When your leading scorer is shooting 30.7%, as is the case with USC, there is going to be a lot of empty trips, forcing the defense to step up. I expect a defensive presence to start this game from both sides and am on the First Half UNDER the total.
