At the onset of the season, the matchup between the Oregon Ducks and USC Trojans was seen as potentially the first of two that would take place in 2023. That is because many future market bettors figured the Ducks and Trojans would finish 1-2 in the regular season, setting up a rematch in the Pac-12 championship game. Concurrently, USC is out of the College Football Betting money. Oregon hosts USC at Autzen Stadium, one of the most intimidating venues in college football. At the onset of the week, USC fired defensive coordinator Alex Grinch.

USC Trojans Team Overview
Last game, the USC Trojans lost 52-42 against the Washington Huskies as 2.5-point home dogs. The game went over the online betting total of 75.5. USC has a record of 7-straight up, 2-8 against the spread, and 9-1 over/under the total. USC ranks 8th for total offense, 5th for passing, 70th for rushing, and 2nd for scoring. Defensively, they rank 123rd overall, 107th against the pass, 120th against the rush, and 124th for points allowed. Also, USC ranks 119th for fewest turnovers lost and 77th for takeaways.
Certainly, the Trojans’ second season under Lincoln Riley is officially a failure. The defense deserves nearly all the blame on a team that has scored at least 32 points in nine of its ten games.
USC QB Caleb Williams passed for 312 yards and three touchdowns for the Trojans. Still, USC has lost three of four to derail their championship hopes. The offenses combined for 1,087 yards. But Washington repeatedly made bigger plays at key moments, and the Huskies never trailed in the second half.
USC gave up at least 40 points for the fifth time in its last six games. In turn, that increased the pressure on Riley’s longtime defensive coordinator, Alex Grinch. With all credibility drained, Grinch was fired on Sunday.
