USC at Minnesota

Many thought after Caleb Williams left USC the Trojans would take a big step down. That has not been the case as the Trojans are 3-1 with the only blemish coming by three points in a loss to Michigan at the Big House. The defense is much better than last year as they are allowing just 68 points at 17 PPG and that isn't to a cupcake schedule as they have already faced LSU, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The offense certinly hasn't dropped off the map either as the Trojans are producing 34 PPG. Minnesota allowed a total of 19 points in their first three games, but the competition was weak. They have a solid defense while the offense has been suspect which seems to be the norm for this team. I think the defenses have the edge in this one on both sides of the ball, and getting into the 50s will not be an easy task. Make the play UNDER the total.
