USC Wins If . . .
USC will win today's game if . . .
The Trojans do not want to play in the Sun Bowl. Pete Carroll decides now to overload his defense with schemes. Quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates does not panic if USC falls behind. The special teams does not find a new way to falter as it usually does on a weekly basis.
USC wins if...
ASU doesnt run the spread, the wildcat or anything else other than a simple, boring offensive game plan (see Ohio St). Pete's D is real good at stopping that.
USC wins today if they show up. Danny Sullivan is the worst QB in the conference. He won't be able to dink and dunk ASU down the field.
