Since when is Reggie Bush the Trojans big weapon tht sets them apart? He may be a franchise player anywhere else he plays but the Trojans are so deep, he is just another star, not a whole franchise.
USC can go to thier 4th string RB and still beat anybody. I just think that a lot of teams in the Pac-10 with any talent will get up for USC and play their best game so you won't see many blowouts in Pac-10 play. I think the linemakers are having a field day padding the lines for the Trojans. People will wager on them regardless.
