USC Trojans
USC is having one of their roughest season’s in school history. They enter this one on the heels of a close loss to BYU, dropping their fifth game in a row.
Freshman Jaxson Dart has been thrusted into the starting QB role and but he was solid against BYU. The Utah native went 23-35 for 248 passing yards with a touchdown pass, bringing him to 1,162 passing yards with eight touchdowns to five interceptions.
Keaontay Ingram has been a bright spot on a struggling Trojans team. The former Texas running back has posted a career-high 893 rushing, including three 100-yard performances over the past four weeks.
Fellow senior Vavae Malepeai will play his final game in a Trojan uniform, and he’s scored four touchdowns in the past two games.
Drake London’s absence hasn’t gone unnoticed, and it’s hindered the passing game. Gary Bryant Jr. has blossomed in his absence, and he caught a career-best nine passes for 161 receiving yards and a score against the Bruins.
Cal Golden Bears
Cal got off to a rough start this season, but they’ve quietly rallied and won three of their last five games, including an impressive 30-point road win against Stanford.
Chase Garbers heads into senior day looking to redeem a rough outing against UCLA. The redshirt senior will make his 30th and final start for the Golden Bears Saturday, and a big game from him could lead to what should be viewed as an upset.
Garbers eclipsed 6,000 yards for his career last weekend, and he’s thrown for 2,350 passing yards with sixteen touchdowns to eight interceptions this season. He’s also rushed for 455 yards and four rushing scores.
Christopher Brooks has taken over the backfield during this final stretch, rushing for 60 yards in five of his last six games. He rushed for a career-high 131 yards against Stanford, and he leads Cal with 558 rushing yards.
Trevon Clark leads the team with 604 receiving yards, while Kekoa Crawford leads the team with 36 receptions.

4* Free Week 13 NCAA Betting Pick: USC to Win
We’ve never seen USC so low, but we do know they still represent the most talented team in California. The final result in UCLA should be motivation for this one, and along with Riley’s hiring, the Trojans should come out and play well here. The University of Southern Cal is worth a shot as underdogs here.
