USC vs. Cal Game Preview: A pivotal contest for the Trojans who remain in the hunt for the Pac-12 South

The Trojans picked up a much-needed moral boosting victory up in Corvallis against Oregon State last week and will certainly need to keep that momentum going into their showdown against the Golden Bears if they hope to keep their aspirations for a second-consecutive Pac-12 championship alive.
