The Arizona State Sun Devils meet the USC Trojans Saturday in week 10 Pac-12 conference college football action from Sun Devil Stadium.

The USC Trojans will be looking to build off of their 41-34 win over the Arizona Wildcats in their last game. Kedon Slovis has thrown for 2,022 yards, 11 touchdowns and 7 interceptions on 65.8% passing while Keaontay Ingram leads the Trojans in rushing with 761 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. Drake London leads the Trojans’ receiving group with 88 catches for 1,084 yards and 7 touchdowns while Tahj Washington has 396 receiving yards and Gary Bryant Jr. has 298 receiving yards with 5 touchdowns. The Trojans have another five 100+ yard receivers this season. On defense, Kana’I Mauga has a team-high 54 total tackles while Drake Jackson has a team-high 5 sacks and Tuli Tuipulotu has 3.5 sacks this season. Jacob Lichtenstein also has 3 sacks for USC this season.

The Arizona State Sun Devils will look to bounce back from a 34-21 loss to Washington State in their last game. Jayden Daniels leads the Sun Devils by throwing for 1,734 yards, 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 68.5% passing while also rushing for 432 yards and 4 scores. Rachaad White leads Arizona State with 477 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns while DeaMonte Trayanium has 304 rushing yards with 4 scores and Daniyal Ngata has 265 rushing yards. Ricky Pearsall, LV Bunkley-Shelton and Curtis Hodges each have 300+ receiving yards for ASU’s receiving group while another trio of receivers have at least 100 receiving yards on the year. On defense, Darien Butler leads Arizona State with 50 total tackles as well as 3 interceptions while Anthonie Cooper has a team-high 3.5 sacks.

USC is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as a road underdog and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 conference games. Arizona State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 conference games while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games as a favorite.

I get the case that could be made for USC as this is still a proud Trojans team with a lot of talent, but the reality is that USC’s only good performances lately are coming against the Pac-12’s bottom-feeders. Arizona State’s had some bumpy outings as of late as well, but they usually play their best at home and have had the more impressive and consistent run this season. I’ll lay the points with Arizona State here in a bounce back.
