USC vs Oregon State Game Preview

Why USC Will Win

Nothing is slowing down this offense.

Caleb Williams is in total command, the running game stepped up against Fresno State – the balance was great in the 45-17 win – and so far it seems like the faucet gets turned on whenever it needs to.

It doesn’t always work this easily, but the Trojans rolled at will against the Bulldogs. Oregon State needed a late score to survive at Fresno 35-32.

The Beavers have a good enough offense to hit the USC defensive front hard, but the pass rush isn’t there. Don’t get any pressure on Williams, and he’ll do whatever he wants.

CFN Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Oregon State Will Win

The offense is rolling.

There’s good balance, the running game is averaging five yards per carry, and Chance Nolan is connecting on the downfield passing game enough to open it up.

It’s going to be the ground attack, though, that has to take over.

USC is giving up 4.8 yards per carry and allowed Rice, Stanford, and Fresno State to rumble, but all three had to abandon what worked to try keeping up the pace.

Oregon State has to get the 1-2 punch of Deshaun Fenwick and Damien Martinez going early, it needs to keep Williams and company on the sidelines, and …

What’s Going To Happen

USC’s defensive front might be having big problems against the run, but there’s no issue with the pass rush.

Oregon State’s offensive front has been great in pass protection, strong for the running game, and it’s going to have a terrific game. It’s not going to be enough.

The energy will be amazing, the team will be jacked, and it’ll be a fun first half. Then USC’s offense will wake up and take over halfway through the third quarter.

The defense that will get hit hard will make up for it with two late takeaways.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

USC vs Oregon State Game Preview


Why USC Will Win

You and a few friends could hang 70 on the Oregon State defense.

The Beavers are trying. They’re taking lots of threes, they’re doing a nice job of keeping the turnovers down to a dull roar, and …

They can’t stop anyone, giving up threes in bunches, 76 points per game, and they’re giving up lots and lots and lots of points because everyone is having way too much fun making easy shots.

USC should dominate on the boards, hit close to half of their shots, and crank up the D against the Oregon State offense that’s going to struggle to go on any sort of run to keep up.

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Oregon State Will Win

USC won 81-71 in the first meeting back in mid-January, but that wasn’t the norm.

This isn’t a high-powered offensive team. It’ll get its points against this Beaver defense, but it’ll also be more than happy to keep things slow and not take any chances.

Oregon State needs to force its way to the free throw line – USC will get hit with plenty of fouls – and …

What’s Going To Happen

Oregon State won’t be able to stop USC.

The Beaver offense will struggle to come close to 40% from the field against the Trojan defense, especially because the threes will start flying after an early run.

USC’s offense will be sharp out of the game and will cruise from there.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

USC vs Oregon State Game Preview


Why Oregon State Will Win

Just how healthy are the USC quarterbacks?

Kedon Slovis was back at practice – and, apparently, just fine – but he suffered a neck injury in the win over Washington State. In stepped Jaxson Dart, who ripped it up to crank up the production, but he suffered a knee injury and hasn’t been able to do much this week.

Oregon State has the running game in place after getting stronger over the last two games – wins over Hawaii and Idaho – for an offense that leads all Pac-12 teams in third down conversions.

The offensive line has been solid, the defense is generating a ton of plays in the backfield, and the run D has been statistically strong. It’s getting the job done, and USC isn’t running well enough to overcome the quarterback injuries – if that’s a problem.

Week 4 College Football Expert Picks

Why USC Will Win

It almost seemed like USC became what it’s supposed to be as the Washington State game went on.

It’s been a weird run so far with the loss to Stanford and the firing of Clay Helton, but interim head coach Donte Williams might have relaxed things a little bit. The O turned it up several notches in the second half, the passing game rolled for close to 400 yards, and Oregon State has to be ready the explosiveness.

The Beaver secondary got hit by Hawaii for 366 yards and by Purdue for well over 300 yards – it’s going to get bombed on from the start, likely from a fired up Slovis who knows he needs a big performance with Dart looking so strong.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not a question of talent. Oregon is the one team in the Pac-12 that can match USC athletically. Now it’s just about the consistency, and the team might have turned a corner.

Oregon State is sneaky good – it could pull this off if the USC pass rush doesn’t show up and the D can’t come up with third down stops. That was the problem against Stanford, and the Beavers know how to move the chains.

It’s USC. It’ll start slow, come back in the second half, and it’ll make this more interesting than it needs to be.
