OR vs. USC Instant Analysis

USC players have waited two seasons to play OR and their chance will come on Saturday. “It was an honor seeing those guys play, seeing how they got it done”. USC ranks 74th in points allowed per game, and they surrendered a season-high 48 points in their most recent loss.

Helton’s steady hand, and everything that remains on the table for the Trojans, gives him a legit shot at the big chair full time, even though athletic director Pat Haden could attract a much bigger name.

I’m not a coach or player in the Pac-12 Conference, therefore based on the expertise of Oregon Offensive Coordinator Scott Frost, I’m truly incapable of an opinion regarding anything on or around the football field.

Oregon’s Bralon Addison has 45 receptions, six for touchdowns. You’re frequently a contender for the BCS Championships; you’re nearly never unranked (almost); you’ve got a pretty objectively lame mascot that has somehow been converted into something pretty cool; and you’ve got just about an endless supply of jerseys to choose from.

This game also is an interesting matchup of quarterbacks. Helton got a free pass for the Notre Dame defeat “cause in that was the week he took over a Jerry Springer episode after Steve Sarkisian’s four-alarm firing.It was understood from in that time, to those in that disability these guesses, in that his exclusively path to everlasting USC citizenship was profitable the remaining of his games”.

USC’s defense faces the unenviable task of facing OR quarterback Vernon Adams on Saturday, and no one can offer a better testament of Adams’ talents than his childhood friend, Trojans wide receiver Steven Mitchell. Clearly, the award folks didn’t get the memo on UO’s Nelson, who has played receiver, run the ball, returned kicks, leveled more hits in return coverage and started the past five games at safety.

Whether it’s missing a key field goal or blocking a punt.

The Trojans sacked Adams twice, the Ducks punted and then Jackson sprinted for 41-yard touchdown on a punt return. “I just feel like my season’s just all right”. For the season, though, he’s averaging a healthy 7.1 yards on his 108 carries.

Last week, remember, Stanford QB Kevin Hogan fumbled two snaps in the fourth quarter that the Ducks recovered.

STORYLINES: The combination of a Stanford victory or an or loss would clinch the North division title for the Cardinal.

“They always looked at me and thought it was like, “˜Dang, you could be playing at big school,”™” he said.

USC’s defense will try to make Rosen uncomfortable. The Trojans finished the regular season 10-2 overall and 7-2 in the Pac-12, but were ineligible for postseason play.

It had been a while since Goff had this kind of game, but he reminded those watching just how quickly he can have an impact through the air with over 450 yards and six touchdowns thrown in the win.

On the next series, Adams scrambled and completed a pass to Stanford on third down and, later, running back Benoit ran a route from the backfield to an open spot in the secondary and caught a 30-yard TD pass from Adams. It was 28-14 with 2:39 left in the half. The Trojans opted not to call timeouts and punted. The Cardinal has won five in a row, including 38-17 last season.

Smith-Schuster said he was fine after the OR game.
