USC is more talented – I give you that. But TD dog in the Horseshoe where they are 46-1 in non-conference games? Value with Buckeyes.
The Trojans are young and freshman stud QB Matt Barkley plays on the road for the first time. Joe McKnight and the rest of the RBs are the focus of the offense, but Buckeyes run D worked fine last week – it was their pass defense that Navy got the big plays. Can Barkley handle the pressure with 100k booing him? I just doubt it even if he is the Third Coming (Tebow being the second…).
I also think there is value in tOSU based on last week’s results – Navy always confuses their opponent with their three-card monte of an offense and Buckeyes had to have spent some of their Week One prep on SoCal rather than the Middies. Trojans embarrassed the Spartans (Peloponnesian War?) and this line has moved from an open of 4.5 to 7.
I suggest the “Huss Hedge” – 2 units ATS, 1 unit moneyline +240
