Jordon Davison leads the Ducks with 194 yards and 4 touchdowns on 33 carries, while Dierre Hill Jr. has added 121 yards and 1 score on 27 attempts. Evan Stewart leads the receiving corps with 222 yards and 2 touchdowns on 15 catches. Dakorien Moore has contributed 192 yards and 3 scores on 11 receptions.

King Miller leads the Trojans with 338 yards and 3 touchdowns on 64 carries, while Waymond Jordan has added 188 yards and 1 score on 37 attempts.

Oregon vs USC Pick

Both quarterbacks have played extremely efficient football, combining for 21 touchdown passes and only 1 interception. USC has the home-field advantage and enough offensive weapons to trade scores throughout the game, but its defense struggled to put away Rutgers. Oregon owns the stronger defensive unit and should have more success controlling the line of scrimmage. Moore has protected the football and consistently found different receivers, making it difficult for USC to focus on one option. Look for Oregon to make one or two additional defensive stops and cover the short road spread in a high-scoring matchup.
