9. USC Trojans | Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA | Sat, Nov. 17

Even if both teams are horrible, this will always be one of the toughest games on the schedule. Everytime the Bruins and Trojans play, both teams turn up the effort and energy as this emotions of this rivalry game unfold. But what happens when both teams are good? Well, we will find out.

We will also find out how the Bruins and Trojans perform as both move on from the Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold eras. UCLA and USC have talented QBs, but will they have what it takes to make their teams successful?

This year, the South Division could be on the line by the time we get to this game which will once again be second to last. For some reason, USC thinks Notre Dame is a bigger rivalry which has bumped the UCLA-USC game from the final spot on the schedule. So be it.

It does not matter if the game is the first of the season, the last or somewhere in between, with the added blood of the rivalry, we could see a UCLA team that runs all over the Trojans. At the same time, if things do not bounce the Bruins’ way, I could see USC taking advantage.

Still, no matter what happens, this game will be the start of something special in the rivalry.
