USC path to victory versus LSU begins up front

We all know where USC-LSU will be won and lost.

USC will begin the 2024 college football season with a huge test when the Trojans face the LSU Tigers in Las Vegas on Sunday, September 1. The central key to the game will be the amount of pressure on each of the two quarterbacks in this game. Can the USC defense get to Garrett Nussmeier, and can the talented but unproven offensive line for the Trojans keep Miller Moss’s uniform clean long enough to allow his elite wide receivers to get open? If so, USC fans will leave the desert very happy, and it will be an encouraging first glimpse into what the 2024 Trojans can do in the Big Ten.

We already saw Florida State, a heavy favorite, lose its first game of the season. That’s one team ranked ahead of USC in the preseason polls. USC will now try to step up and deliver another upset — maybe not in the minds of Trojan finds, but certainly according to the oddsmakers and the preseason polls. Both preseason polls had LSU at least 10 spots higher than USC.

On the most recent Conquest Call-In show on the Voice of College Football we discussed what the Trojans will have to do to leave the desert with a victory.
