Week 1 College Football Showdowns: Which Underdogs Could Shock the Nation?
TRACR’s Win Probability: Notre Dame 51.3%
No. 5 LSU vs. No. 18 USC (Las Vegas), 7:30 p.m. ET Sunday, ABC
Most of the talk around USC will center on new quarterback Miller Moss, the former backup who replaces Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall draft pick Caleb Williams. But that conversation misses an obvious point: USC’s offense will always be fine as long as Lincoln Riley is around.
Moss was impressive in a Holiday Bowl win to cap last year’s disappointing campaign, but the main reason to believe in him is that Riley would not go into a season with a QB he didn’t believe in. The next Riley quarterback who isn’t very good will be the first. We can safely assume that the Trojans will score a lot of points.
