The Obvious: The No. 7 USC Trojans (3-0, 1-0 Pac-12) face their sternest test of the season when they travel north to play the undefeated but still unranked Oregon State Beavers (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12) in an early but huge Pac-12 Conference game in Reser Stadium that will kickoff at 6:30 p.m. (PT) and will be televised nationally by the Pac-12 Network. The Not So Obvious: No doubt, this is clearly the most challenging test of the 2022 season for the Trojans up to this point in the season, and even a bigger game when one considers this is a critical conference game. As a reminder, the two Pac-12 teams that finish with the highest conference winning percentages will advance to the conference title game in Las Vegas on Friday night, Dec. 2.  It should be noted how much has changed for the Trojans since Oregon State came to the Coliseum in 2021 and physically dismantled USC in the Coli, 45-27. To see how much progress has been made from last season to now along with the roster changes, below is a "lowlight" video of last season's game with the Beavers.
