Oregon football goes on the road to play a streaking USC Trojan team. Will the Ducks continue their run at the College Football Playoff?

Justin Herbert and the Ducks have had quite the season so far. Oregon has played its way into the conversation for a Pac-12 title and a College Football Playoff spot. Oregon has been red hot rattling off seven straight wins and running through the Pac-12 with a perfect 5-0 start to conference play.

Quarterback Justin Herbert has flown under the radar as one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Herbert is one of the favorites to win Pac-12 offensive player of the year and deserves all of the credit with his play so far. Throwing for 21 touchdowns and only one interception through the first eight games, Herbert has lit up opposing defenses.

All of the talks have been about Herbert and the offense for the Ducks. The Duck has flown under the radar only giving up 14 points per game and just over 100 yards on the ground. Oregon has prided its defense on that big defensive line which has been one of the most disruptive in the Pac-12.

USC may not be having a banner year for the program, but they have been able to get some big wins at home. In September, the Trojans were able to take down the top-ranked Utah Utes in Southern California. Oregon will try and avoid a let down on the road like the Utes to stay atop the Pac-12 and have a shot at the CFP.

Here are three bold predictions for the game on Saturday.
