On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Shotgun Spratling, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio talking about USC's massive matchup with Oregon. The No. 12 Trojans are 4-0 and coming off a lackluster performance on the road at Rutgers while the No. 20 Ducks are 2-1 and trying to put that surprising road loss to Oklahoma State in the rear view mirror.
This is a must-win game for both teams, with Lincoln Riley needing to show that this program is capable of making the College Football Playoffs and Dan Lanning keeping the Ducks dreams of a national championship alive (and continuing their dominance on the West Coast). For USC, a win puts the rest of the Big Ten on notice that the Men of Troy are capable of taking down the top dogs in the conference. It also makes this Trojan team nationally relevant and a real threat to not only make the CFP but earn a higher seed with the potential to make a run.
The crew talks about all of the off-season buildup to this game, analyzes some of the key matchups and gives updates on the injury situation for both teams. They end the show giving their picks, with USC a 3-point underdog at home to Oregon.
