USC vs Arizona Game Preview

Why USC Will Win

The Trojans looked like they wanted to keep going at the very end of the tough 43-42 loss at Utah, but now they should be recharged after a week off.

The offense that’s been a wee bit inconsistent shouldn’t have any issues against an Arizona defense that allowed 580 yards or more in three of the last four games – all losses – with the one outlier the win over Colorado.

The Wildcats aren’t generating any pressure in the backfield – USC QB Caleb Williams should get plenty of time to let the downfield plays develop – with the run defense about to be in for a long day.

What’s Going To Happen

Arizona has to force takeaways to pull this off, and it won’t.

Teams became far, far more careful – easily said than done – against the USC secondary, and the takeaways have slowed with two in the last three games after coming up with 15 in the first four games. However, Arizona has just one takeaway in the last four games.

USC has given away just one turnover all year long. It’s not going to screw up, the Wildcat D won’t hold on, and it’ll be a fun offensive show with the Trojans getting back on track.
