It’s almost time for the 2018 season to begin. First on deck for the Trojans? The UNLV Rebels. Fans at the Coliseum and at home will get their first glance at new quarterback JT Daniels on Saturday, which should be reason enough to tune in.
USC is a sizable favorite over UNLV, with a 26.5-point gameday line according to Vegas Insider. They’ll be looking to avoid the drama of last year’s opener against Western Michigan, when the Broncos challenged the Trojans in a tighter-than-expected contest.
From the other perspective, the Rebels will hope the game plays out just like that one did, catching USC off guard and creating an opportunity for an upset.
