Didn’t take long for NIL and the portal to even the playing field. USC still a threat IMO but no reason we can’t take care of them. Will be interesting to see how they respond.

Our OL and DL better bring it at SC. If we go in there with the same mindset as we did against Illinois we should walk away with a win. There's not a team on our schedule that we can bully up front.

If we get out of SC with a win, you gotta feel good about our chances the rest of the way.

SC losing and dropping out of the top 25 hurts PS. They have nothing to lose and even if we beat them, it’ll be viewed as another win over an unranked opponent

I do not think USC not being as good as expected really hurts PSU.
Losing a game to any team remaining on the schedule outside of O$U is the only thing that will keep PSU out of the playoffs. Which was the case with a ranked USC.

Most of the starters on teams pulling the upsets were recruited before NIL.
