USC football: 3 bold predictions vs. Oregon in Week 11 The game that was once prophesied to be a top-10 matchup has petered out in the last few weeks. USC football has lost three of its last four and barely survived other close tests, including their triple-overtime thriller against Arizona and 50-49 barn-burner at Cal. USC’s most recent loss came at the hands of Michael Penix Jr. and the Washington Huskies, the same squad that handed Oregon its only loss of the year. After the Trojans’ loss, head coach Lincoln Riley announced the Trojans would part ways with defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. Defensive line coach Shaun Nua and linebackers coach Brian Odom will take over co-defensive coordinator responsibilities for the last two games of the regular season and any bowl appearance. Here are three bold predictions for the Trojans’ trip to Eugene...

Nicknamed the 'law firm', Oregon's O-Line staff has unit playing as well as anyone Oregon offensive line coach A'lique Terry opens up about what has allowed this year's unit to be so good so fast, and the value of Mike Cavanaugh and Cutter Leftwich to the room. After Oregon's big guys exerted their will on Utah's for four quarters in Salt Lake City, head coach Dan Lanning told the press what most who'd watched the game knew to be true. Considered the "really big question mark" of the offseason, his team's offense line wasn't one now. "I don't know if that's a question mark anymore," Lanning said following the 35-6 bashing of the Utes on Oct. 28. It wasn't exactly out-of-bounds to doubt a new-look unit led by a recently-hired 28-year old position coach, and as Lanning acknowledged, those guys knew the chatter. While talking heads on television screens and goofballs on message boards spread concern about how four new starters would fare in 2023, A'lique Terry fanned the flames himself. "I remember the first few games, I would scream at them 'you are the weakness of this team'!" Terry told DuckTerritory.com in an exclusive interview...

Battle of Perception This Saturday, the USC Trojans (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12) travel to Autzen Stadium for the final time as a member of the Pac-12 in a battle that leans on the No. 6 Oregon Ducks’ (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12) playoff hopes. In the midst of a colossal collapse, the Trojans remain in contention for a spot in the final Pac-12 Championship, while the Ducks have their eyes on a rematch with Washington and the College Football Playoff. Last Saturday, the Ducks overcame early turnover issues and penalty trouble to batter the California Golden Bears 63-19, while USC came out short at home against Pac-12 leader Washington in a 52-42 loss that left the Trojans scrambling ahead of their visit to Autzen Stadium. College football is fickle. Despite just two conference losses, preseason Heisman favorite Caleb Williams and the Trojans are painted as a team in crisis. Oregon, with a similar Pac-12 record, is surging in its quest for a bowl game. Two high-powered offenses are the engines of championship-caliber teams, but it’s the defenses that separate them...

Krasnowski: USC is college football’s villain The words “USC” and “villain” have always been synonymous. From the Pete Carroll era to celebrities on the sideline, USC and its Hollywood atmosphere has always been easy to hate. Even in the hapless years before Lincoln Riley was hired as head coach, USC felt like a sleeping giant stirring in its rest. When Riley’s move to Southern California was announced, Oklahoma Sooner fans were incensed. Think Mario Cristobal to Miami times a hundred. At the time of his departure, Riley was — and probably still is now — public enemy No. 1 in Norman. Sooner fans hate him. USC fans love him. Riley is the man behind the rebuild of the once listless Trojans. More than anything, USC is relevant once again and the Trojans have certainly done that in a unique fashion. At the forefront of the sports revolution, USC has made the most of its national brand and boosters by building its roster through the transfer portal and athletes Name Image Likeness. That certainly makes them hateable. To acess the details in the Daily Emerald, click here.

8 major questions for No. 6 Ducks this week against Caleb Williams and USC Trojans As a fan of the Oregon Ducks, you may have a lot of questions about the season going forward. Will past performances on the road against Arizona State, or recent history against Oregon State plague this team?

Can the Ducks get the little bit of help they need elsewhere to have a guaranteed spot in the College Football Playoff should they win the remaining games on their schedule? These are all things that we won’t know the answers for another few weeks, at the minimum.

Injury Report: Updated look at injury news for No. 6 Oregon and USC At this point in the college football season, as we start to get into the middle of November and on, you expect injury reports for teams across the nation to grow longer and longer.

P Ross James' improvement and comfort level have helped him become one of the nation's best Oregon's Ross James is averaging over 49 yards per punt, putting him in the conversation for one of the nation's best. Special teams performances are rarely celebrated. One of the three pillars of football, joined by offense and defense, the call for a punter or kicker is often met with disappointment. This clearly indicates that a drive stalled or a touchdown will not be scored. Sometimes, special teams will be the main takeaway from a win or loss, either good or bad. A blocked punt here, a return for a touchdown there. During the 2022 season for the Oregon Ducks, special teams were a common point of emphasis and not in a redeeming manner. The tipping point came in the final regular season game of the season, where Oregon State blocked an Alex Bales punt, continuing the Beavers's comeback attempt and leading to a touchdown and ultimately a win. P Ross James' improvement and comfort level have helped him become one of the nation's best 247SPORTS.COM Oregon's Ross James is averaging over 49 yards per punt, putting him in the conversation for one of the nation's best.

Steve Stephens IV praises Kris Hutson's scout team looks in preparation for USC Senior safety Steve Stephens IV says Kris Hutson has done a great job with the scout team of preparing Oregon's defense for USC's talented receiving corps. While only several dozen players make contributions on the field each Saturday, the rest of Oregon's team play roles in getting them ready throughout the week. This week Oregon has been challenged with facing one of the nation's most explosive and diversified passing offenses. According to senior safety Steve Stephens IV, wide receiver Kris Hutson has been integral in getting the team's defense ready. "I'm not going to say Kris Hutson got lost in the shuffle or anything like that," Stephens said following Wednesday's practice. "But he's been on scout team and he's been giving us a great look."...
