Tough call. I said Card by less than 10, but it could swing wildly for any number of reasons.Â
USC reaching down to a third string center could be big, as could not having their starting kicker Heidari, who was first string all PAC 12 in 2011. USC is still also breaking in a new LT, and has limited depth on the D line, and is having problems at one corner position. Card needs to have a decent running game to make this all happen I think. Defense also has play at a high intensity level the whole game.
