Obvious x-factor here is barkley like you said. It may seem as obvious but its true. Freshman QB who faced a WAC defense at home now on the road in his first "real game". if he manages the game, i think USC wins. if he turns it over, and succumbs to the durress tressel will put him under, OSU steals a close one. Am actually leaning towards the OVER (number pending) here. Books will sell the under in this matchup like they do every year but both defenses are not the caliper they were in the past and its just branding/commanding more respect then they deserve.
I still believe pryor is a one-trick pony, and does not have an accurate arm, and is especially wild when he tries to throw on the run (as we saw with the pick he threw in yesterdays game). Both teams will look to stack the box and put pressure on the opposing QB, but i think it will be tougher on pryor because OSU will not have as much success running the football as USC will. (even taking into account that barkley is a freshman but think he can manage the game here)
Sorry for the rant, thats where im at. BTW, im just preaching USC in THIS MATCHUP. like i said i feel theyre overrated, and i can easily find two if not three possible losses in their schedule (@ cal and @ ND, and @ oregon). I have the ND game circled for 10/16... i will be pounding ND in that game. ND will be able to throw all over USC... but thats for another day.... GL!!!
