00:00Saturday's game between Penn State at USC. Of course, the Nittany Lions are one of the
00:08best teams in the country this year. Maybe people are sleeping on them. I'm not sure
00:11that people don't realize how good they've been. They're 4.5 point favorites with a very
00:15interesting travel time for them. I know they had to go to a different airport, saw that
00:19earlier in the week, Bill, to get out of Happy Valley and get to Harrisburg to get to USC.
00:25Trojans getting 4.5 points. I haven't been all that impressed with them this season.
00:29I think that's fair to say. 50.5 is the total here, so some points expected.
00:34Yeah, and this is a back-against-the-wall moment for USC. You know, these heartbreaking
00:39losses at Michigan and Minnesota. We talked about that travel trend earlier in the week,
00:44but it bears repeating. Penn State hasn't played a game, a regular season game, on the
00:50West Coast since they played USC in 1990. 1990-1991, they lost both games. USC's got
00:57to shut down the running game. They've given up over five yards per carry to Michigan and
01:01Minnesota. Penn State comes in there with Nick Singleton and Katron Allen. They would
01:05be content just to run the ball and maybe set up a few shots for Drew Aller. I don't
01:10love this line. The Nittany Lions are the better team. I understand that. I would lean
01:15towards the over, though, because I think USC is going to hang in this game, make a
01:19few plays. Maybe the travel spooks me more than the players, Craig, but it's just proven.
01:26These trends within the Big Ten this year between the West Coast and the Midwest teams.
