Where: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Records: Oregon State 1-4 (0-2 Pac-12), USC 4-1 (2-1)
Trojans this season: USC was a preseason top five team but took its first plunge in the rankings after losing 30-27 at Washington State. The Trojans were down three injured offensive linemen and quarterback Sam Darnold struggled under pressure. They were picked to win the Pac-12 title and although they haven’t played to their potential – ranking seventh in both scoring offense and defense – remain one of the most talented teams in the league.
