One Bowl Total

One Bowl Total [B]218 Southern California UNDER 45.5[/B] I just don’t think this one will end up above 45 by game day. The Trojans offense has just not been that impressive in the 2nd half of the season. They really have had troubles scoring on the teams with good defenses only averaging 19.4 ppg against these five teams Ohio St., Oregon, Arizona, UCLA and Arizona St. The Eagles have one of the top run defenses in the league and Trojan quarterback Barkley is just not the playmaker at this time to produce big plays through the passing game. The Eagles were well below the league average in both passing and rushing yards this season. The offense only produced 21.8 ppg in conference games. The Eagles really struggled on offense when they played teams with good defense like Clemson, Virginia Tech and North Carolina where the offense failed to produce more than 14 total points in games against these opponents. The Trojans still have a great defense and I just cannot see this Eagle offense, which has sputtered all season putting up points.

Forgot to mention that the game is in San Francisco and the weather is usually piss poor in December and January. Those are traditionally the months with the most rainfall.

Thanks Helmut. Took it.

December is 4th. Solely bring this up for accuracy reasons.

Thank you sir. Now 43 1/2 at Pinny.

Another weather comment: This is an El Nino winter for us. What that means is more days of precipitation, more precipitation on those days, and slightly warmer weather. It means the probability that it will rain is higher than in a typical winter day.
