Really? The Trojans were physically dominated by Stanford this week, have very little depth on either lines, and now has to go play the most physical team in the Pac-12 South on a short week in Rice-Eccles. If USC gets down 10 in this game, they will fold.
Would you bet on U$C right now?
And for all the Game Day location decisions, you have to remember ESPN really doesn't like to come to the west coast at all. The extremely early morning start usually means smaller crowds and the travel makes it a more expensive trip for the TV production (especially if they have east coast games the week before and the week after). So unless a Pac-12 game is an absolute no brainer (like the Oregon at Stanford game in 2011), ESPN won't come west.
