The mighty men of Troy from #3 USC will travel to the home of the #8 Buckeyes this Saturday as the centerpiece of College Game Day. While this will be a much publicized and discussed game, I fear it won't live up to its excitement. True, these are two storied football programs, but they merely aren't an even match at this point in time.
The one leg Ohio State has to stand on is quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who will undoubtedly be tested on Saturday. While the Buckeyes do have experience at the QB position, USC must put their faith in true freshman, Matt Barkley. This trip to Columbus will be a huge test for the young starter, but I believe he will keep his composure and prevail. In fact, if Barkley gets a little rattled he has twelve returning starters to back him up.
What's my prediction? If the Buckeyes allowed the Midshipmen of Navy to rack up over 300 yards of offense, imagine what the prolific offense of the Trojans will do. I don't predict a blowout like last year's 35-3, but regardless, the Trojans will end up on top. Neither the fans at the Horseshoe, nor the dot of the "i" will be able to save the lackluster Buckeyes. Pete Carroll, the keeper of the highest winning percentage in college football will trump Jim Tressel and his... vest?
Final verdict: Lee Corso's headgear selection will definitely be in favor of the Trojans.
Final score... USC 31, Ohio State 10.
