The Trojans face Nebraska tonight in the Holiday Bowl and come into the contest with a 9-2 ATS record in their last 11 games against Big Ten opponents. Nebraska obviously is led by one of the best backs I have seen play, in Ameer Abdullah, he can make plays happen all day. Nebraska, though, ever since the Wisconsin game, have been not themselves, after that 59-24 drubbing, they went into a nasty spiral, and they haven't looked the same since. Nebraska has had problems playing ranked opponents, we have seen them struggle with that all season. Their coached was fired and a new staff is coming in.

USC and Cody Kessler will be more than ready in this game. Kessler and his 36 tds are going to looking at that pass defense that has given up only 196 a game, and will be ready for the challenge. USC simply has more talent than Nebraska, they have a team that is definitely heading back in the right direction. USC has had a feeling for what the Pac-12 offers, when they play Nebraska, it's going to look a little bit better than what they saw playing in the Pac-12.


Nebraska is 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 games and I like USC big here on Saturday night!
