Fresno State vs USC Picks & Props
FRES vs USC Picks
NCAAF PicksFresno went 5-8 O/U in Matt Entz' inaugural campaign, and there should be more low-scoring contests ahead given the salty, experienced defense and the ground-heavy offensive approach. The Bulldogs will try to lean on backs Rayshon Luke and Bryson Donelson, which will keep the clock ticking.
This is a poor stylistic matchup for Fresno - the one-dimensional offensive attack isn't designed to play from behind. Jayden Mandal has thrown 9 career passes, and 2 of those have been picked off, so Fresno simply won't keep up with Jayden Maiava and this elite USC offense.
Lincoln Riley was none too pleased with USC's poor defensive fourth quarter against SJSU after the backups came in. The starters allowed only three points through three quarters, and now, with emphasis placed on maintaining that for four quarters, Fresno's one-dimensional approach is in doubt.
