USC, which moved back into the rankings with last week's win over Stanford, will seek its fifth straight win tonight when it meets Pac 12 South rival Colorado at Folsom Field in Boulder. This evening's clash between the Trojans and Buffaloes is scheduled to kickoff at 9:30pm ET on the Pac 12 Network. Saturday College Football Odds have USC listed as a -23 against the spread road favorite and the Over/Under set at 54.5 points.
Interim Head Coach Ed Orgeron would love to take over at USC on a permanent basis, and he might get his wish if the Trojans continue their current run.
Since taking over for the fired Lane Kiffin, Orgeron has guided USC to a 5-1 record with the only loss coming 10-14 fashion at Notre Dame. The Trojans turnaround has come against some pretty good competition as well, with Arizona, Oregon State, and Stanford all falling victim to USC.
Given the way it has played since Orgeron took the reins, a win this evening seems like a foregone conclusion. While Colorado has improved this season, it is still incapable of competing with upper echelon teams.
The Buffaloes, who earned their fourth win of the season last weekend with a 41-24 win over Cal, fell to Oregon State, Oregon, Arizona State, Arizona, UCLA, and Washington by an average of 34.3 points per game.
USC's offense does not lend itself to blowout wins, but the Buffs inability to score points against good defenses could bring this final result close to or beyond the lofty number.
Notable Trends: USC is 1-5 against the spread in its last six games as a road favorite with a total of 54.5 or more points.
College Football Odds USC vs Colorado:
USC Trojans -23 (-110), Over 54.5 (-110)
Colorado Buffaloes +23 (-110), Under 54.5 (-110)
