OSU @ USC Picks
NCAAF PicksMy power rankings make Ohio State an 8.5-point favorite in this game, easily crossing through the key “7” number. With a bye week to prepare for this game, I expect Ryan Day and company to have a competent game plan with both backups Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair. Remember, this is still an Ohio State team with the country's best wide receiver, Jeremiah Smith. The Buckeyes rank in the top 5 in yards-per-play, yards-per-game, and points-per-game margins and have played a tougher schedule than USC.
This is about as good a spot for true freshman Luke Fahey to take over under center for Ohio State. He's had two weeks to prepare and still has Jeremiah Smith to lean on against a defense that ranks 106th in opponent yards per attempt.
The Trojans will be a non-factor on the ground (86th in yards per carry), and OSU's elite secondary (No. 1 in yards per attempt) will get just enough stops for the Buckeyes to find some seperation on the scoreboard.
