USC Trojans at California Golden Bears Overview
USC’s name speaks for itself. The Trojans have been regarded as one of 2017’s trendiest plays and selections for both the Pac 12 title and a College Football Playoff berth. So far, the Men of Troy have had their hands full on several occasions. First, the Trojans had a difficult time fending off visiting Western Michigan in their opening game in Los Angeles. Despite the final score, the Broncos were a pest that USC couldn’t get rid of until the fourth quarter. The Trojans failed to cover a lofty line in that market. A similar situation unfolded when USC required overtime to be rid of a Texas squad that closed as a 15.5-point pooch.
For California, the opposite has been the case. The Golden Bears are coming in off an impressive 27-16 victory against the Mississippi Rebels in Berkeley, last week. Perhaps the most eye-raising triumph for the Golden Bears in 2017 was their 35-30 win at North Carolina on Labor Day weekend where the Bears closed as a 12.5-point road pup.
