1. USC’s running game is the difference-maker on Saturday

If you haven’t watched either team so far this season, let me tell you this much, USC has a high powered offense and they know how to use it. That has been seen week in and week out for the Trojans and I don’t see this week against UCLA being any different. Perhaps most well known though, is the power of Ronald Jones II for USC. Just look at this kid run.

As it stands right now, USC has almost double what UCLA does in terms of rush yards on the season. The Bruins sit at 1295 while USC sits at 2205. Almost half of those 2000 yards on the ground have come from Jones and he is showing no signs of letting up. The fact that the Trojans have a more reliable running game will be the difference maker for them Saturday.

My bold prediction? Jones has over 200 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday to put the game away for the Trojans.
