USC has a shot at the PAC 12 South title, if Utah stumbles, but mostly every win just might be about extending their coach another week.
After a bad string of losses Cal finally won last week. Now they have to get one more to go to a bowl.
This used to be the premier matchup in the PAC 10 for a while. USC is looking for some revenge here.
USC Trojans
USC has won its last two conference road games against Colorado and Arizona State. This one is probably a little bit tougher because Cal is so good on defense.

Kedon Slovis has been really good this season but he is questionable for this one. Matt Fink has his moments but is not as poised so keep watching the injury reports.
If Slove is is a god he has his compliment of elite receivers to work with. They are really going to challenge that strong Bears defense.
The USC defense is not nearly as stout. They have injuries on that side of the ball for sure but the group needs to b better. Thankfully Cal is not an offensive juggernaut.

Cal has been good about dragging teams into the mud. USC’s best hope is to jump out to a lead and force play to be a little speedier.
California Bears
The Bears got a win after dropping four straight. They have been decimated by injuries to the QB position this season but Devin Modster returned and had his best game as a collegian in the win. They need him to play well again.
That has not been his history though so even though USC is not a strong defense it is no slam dunk.
The 4-0 start for the Bears was built upon defense. For the first month of the season the Bears were giving the Ducks and Utes a run for the best defense in the conference.
As things loosened up the offense just wasn’t able to overcome. The defense didn’t crumble but there are only so many times you can keep an offense at bay when your own is giving no support. They need some balance here.

Free Week 12 NCAA Football Pick
USC is the favorite here and by a TD essentially. I think that means that the market thinks Slovis will play. That is a critical piece.

I am looking for the Bears to continue to have some passable offensive play. The Trojans lack of defense will help that out for sure.
USC is pretty good at putting up points this season. They should be motivated on the road to keep playing to their strengths.
