USC isn’t playing good teams, but the Trojans are winning by huge margins. This team looks good, but it hasn’t received big tests.
We asked our Pac-12 panel about the Trojans: “Did your view of USC change this week?”
Don Smalley, Ducks Wire: No. The Trojans did what was expected against a poor Stanford team.
Zachary Neel, Ducks Wire: My view on USC didn’t change, it only got stronger: the Trojans undoubtedly have the best QB in the Pac-12, and I don’t think it’s particularly close.
Matt Zemek, Trojans Wire: Nope. Stanford is atrocious. USC is doing what it is supposed to do and playing how it is supposed to play, but USC needs to be tested by a good offense before we say this team has truly figured it out on defense.
Matt Wadleigh, Trojans and Buffaloes Wire: Not one bit. The Trojans have been able to sit Caleb Williams and other starters in every game so far, but the real tests are coming quickly.
