Week 2
USC Trojans @ Ohio State Buckeyes
Saturday, September 12, 8pm, The Shoe, Columbus, Ohio
USC Preview
True Freshman QB Matt Barkley guided the Trojans to a 56-3 trouncing of San Jose State in Week 1 of the season. Barkley’s numbers were impressive 15/19 for 233 yards through the air and one touchdown. Joe McKnight scored 2 TD’s on his way to picking up 145 yards on the ground. McKnight had a 54 yard burst for a score in the 3rd Quarter.
USC will have to stick to their game plan which will include keeping Terrelle Pryor from using his feet to bail his Buckeye’s out.
Offensively, the Trojans will try to exploit their opponent with speed.
Ohio State Preview
After last years embarrassing loss to the Trojans, the Buckeyes will look to their leader Sophomore QB Terrelle Pryor, to perform better than he did in Week 1.
Pryor threw for only 174 yards on a 14/21 day that also saw him throw a pick. He ran for 30 yards and another score which will concern the Trojan defense.
RB Boom Herron added 72 yards and 1 score on the ground for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes defense will be the difference for their team if Ohio State pulls out a victory.
