Offense

A big game from Pinegar will be key. In order to free up space for Mathis and Sumlin, we will need to keep both the safeties and linebackers honest. Ultimately, our target and USC's vulnerability lies with USC's linebackers, where they have been plagued with injuries and are very inexperienced. We take advantage of these linebackers, with an effective play action passing game, while also taking every opportunity to go deep if their top-notch safeties creep up, and we can put up 35-40+ on USC.
