Not sure I would take the over bet, with SC having to be 10-2 in order to win
SC at Utah and sucla, with ND at SC are tough games, and the Trojans usually lose one other game that they should have won.

UCLA embarrassed SC last year so that will be a real game of vengeance for SC. SC hasn’t beaten ND since 2016 and ND has a new coach. I would take SC in that game too. I guess I would pick Utah over SC but they don’t have to play Utah until the 7th game so by then SC should have their system(offensively and defensively) running on all cylinders. So they have a very good chance in that game too.

ucla at 8.5 wins? Take the under, even if they open with 3 patsies in bowling green, alabama state (yes, that college does exist) and south alabama . Nice scheduling. They have to play usc, oregon, and utah. 3 beatdowns right there. Chip is 2-22 against teams that are .500 or better.

Good point. But isn’t DTR starting for his 8th year in a row? That ought to be good for something.
He may be eligible for social security by the time he leaves SUCLA.

DTR has been around forever, one reason because the NFL hasn’t show any interest. DTR was the QB a few years ago when ucla played oklahoma under Riley and Grinch.
He had a mediocre day, threw for about 200 years, 2 TD, 2 interceptions, OK was ahead 34-0 halfway through the second quarter when Riley called off the massacre and cleared the bench, so a lot of those yards came during garbage time.

I think that SC should win 10 games…..maybe 11. The only game that I’m not confident about is Utah at Utah. I see no reason why they can’t win 10 games. Their offense will be explosive and they have an easy schedule. If they only win 8 games I’d call that a disappointing season.

If you take these very numbers given by BetOnline and estimate Rice at 3 1/2 and Fresno State at 5 1/2(since those schools aren’t listed), you come out with an average of just a smidgeon above 5.5 for the whole season for the opponents of SC in 2022. That just isn’t a really tough schedule. Like I said, if they go 8-4, I think that will be a disappointing season.

9-10 wins certainly is indicated for the talent on this team; add vastly better coaching,compared to the non existent coaching during hellton years, and even more than 10 wins seems realistic to me ,incl the Bowl game.
