Swinger’s 2019 College Football Record: 0-1 (-1.10 units)
The Stanford Cardinal will devote this season’s second week in the Pac-12 competitions, the USC Trojans’ home. The Cardinal notched a 17-7 victory over Northwestern in their season opener but they didn’t escape unscathed as Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello took a forearm to the chin soon before the half causing him to leave the match, while blindside handle Walker”Not So” Little sustained a dislocated knee and will be out for the near future. Left guard Dylan Powell is also not anticipated to go this week when he had been hurt in Week 1. This leaves a offensive lineup, potentially without their starting QB, which is a blow to some Cardinal group.
USC won their season opener on Fresno State by 31-23’s score but was not quite enough to cover the 13 1/2 point impost who backed the Trojans. As USC quarterback JT Daniels has been dropped for the season after suffering a torn ACL to his 27, it might have also been a Pyrrhic victory. That will require a change in signal-callers following moving 6-of-8 for 57 yards week after taking over for Daniels, death, with true freshman Kedon Slovis slated to take the reins.
The last time these teams met a 17-3 victory was captured by the Cardinal as 1/2 point favorites in September of 2018. However USC had won the two contests the former time and have the luxury of home-field benefit between two teams which are equal in talent. However, the wildcards are the quarterbacks with lots of rolling the dice on Stanford.
However, I’m siding with the Trojans based on the simple fact they are better equipped to put points on the board due to an offensive line that’s intact, unlike Stanford’s where two starting linemen on the side of the ball will be sidelined. We’re also getting worth into where they sit as a one-point house favorite, here since the college football odds opened using the Trojans -3.
I am not anticipating any heroics from both sides with both trainers looking to grind this one out with their respective attacks. Reports about the USC freshman quarterback indicate that the child can handle the strain and the Trojans will continue to pound the ball and will be solid in the aid of the injured starter JT Daniels. Back up the Trojans and cash a ticket on Saturday!
Final Score: USC 24 — Stanford 21
