Tunnel Vision: Previewing No. 11 USC on the road in Ann Arbor taking on No. 18 Michigan

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio previewing the very first Big Ten conference game for USC, a road contest against Michigan in the Big House. When USC and UCLA announced they were leaving the Pac-12 for the B1G, no one could have anticipated that the Trojans very first Big Ten conference game would be as historic as this one, facing off against the Wolverines in the regular season for the first time since the 1950s. USC and Michigan are used to meeting up in the Rose Bowl, so Saturday's contest will be a unique early season clash between college football blue bloods.
The guys talk about some of the matchups for this game including USC's improved defense against Michigan's developing offense, Miller Moss and his ball distribution skills against a Wolverines defense that is stacked with talent and a pair of special teams squads that are pushing for improvement in 2024.

I was in the stands at the Rose Bowl when we played Michigan in the early 2000s it was a great game. Of course we won, which was exciting. The bands played at halftime and they were wonderful. Can’t wait to watch this game on TV this year. The stereotype of USC not being physical was in place a long time ago even during the Pete Caroll era when we played Big Ten teams in the Rose Bowl. It was the same perception.

Fight on Trojans ✌️

How many steps have the O line taken and what is their ceiling is what determines how far this team goes. Defense is doing everything you could ask of them. It’s how will the line hold up after all of these games?

[@manguy-e1q]

if you wrote off this game at any point for usc, you simply just weren't paying attention. that depth chart has been available for a long time now.... especially the offense for Michigan...

[@Lanman27]

I like the optimism but this is not going to be an easy game. I think this will be a tough win, but close game

[@Dbid12]

You do realize Arkansas State put up 18 points against Michigan and had TWO redzone trips that ended in zero points. SC should score 30+ no problem.

The horizontal game with screens and jet sweeps have not generated a lot of yards for USC this season.

[@louiscyfer6944]

no, but miller is taking what is there. if they get 4 yard pickups on those, it just counts as a displaced ground game. they go on the long drives. as long as there aren't a bunch of penalties, the drives keep going.

With all due respect to the big house, it doesn’t have nearly the hostile reputation that utah has. Utah is consistently creating false starts from their student section alone.

We'll win 38- 13

[@Trevtab22]

That would be fun… but I’m thinking 24-17 Trojans
