This is a complete overreaction to the Trojans loss to the Wildcats. The Trojans were obviously looking ahead to this big matchup. They will be playing for their lives and that make USC very dangerous.

The 2011 meeting finished with a Trojans upset win over the Ducks. Oregon was the No. 4 team in the country at the time, and USC throttled the Ducks team. It could be argued that the Trojans were not as good as they are now.

USC still has plenty to play for. The Pac-12′s South Division is the weakest of the two this year. Even with two conference losses, USC is still positioned nicely to win the South. The Trojans could win the Pac-12 and beating the Ducks would erase the Arizona loss and put the Trojans in the headlines once again.

Quarterback Matt Barkley is experienced in playing big games and will have his team ready to play well against the Breakable Ducks defense.

It should come as no surprise that this game will be dominated by offense. The game will feature the Pac-12’s leading scorer (Barner), receiver (Lee), punt returner (Thomas) and kick returner (Lee). Barner is second in rushing yardage, Barkley is second in passing yardage, and the trio of Barner, Lee and Thomas all appear in the top five for all-purpose yardage.

And that doesn’t include Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, who is fifth — one spot below Barkley — in the Pac-12 for total offense, or Robert Woods, who just happens to be the career leading receiver in USC history.

Marqise Lee is a play maker for the Trojans that will be the difference in this contest. Lee has been the talk of the college football world since setting a Pac-12 record with 345 receiving yards in a loss to Arizona on Saturday.

The Ducks will have to contend with Lee not just on offense but on special teams, too, where he added a 72-yard kickoff return to his exploits against the Wildcats on Saturday.

The Trojans are 35-16 against the spread (ATS) in their last 51 games in November, 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games following a loss and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.

The Trojans are playing with nothing to lose and will go all out, giving it all they got and giving the Ducks the toughest game of the year.
