The USC Trojans were ranked fifteenth in the nation coming into this season. Now at 4-4, there are a lot of questions on what the team needs to do to even make a bowl berth. On paper, the schedule does get easier for the Trojans, as they are preparing to play the Oregon State Beavers.
The Beavers cannot be taken lightly however, as they completed a huge comeback last week against the Colorado Buffaloes. The 2-6 Beavers come into their game against the Trojans with a lot more confidence than they would have had, if not for their comeback win.
