2021 USC College Football Predictions
USC went 5-1 last year with their lone loss coming to Oregon in the PAC-12 Championship. The Trojans may need to make it back to the championship and win it this time if Clay Helton wants to keep his job in LA. In a wide open PAC-12 South, USC finds themselves as one of the favorites to win the division. And rightfully so. The Trojans return 13 starters including seven for Graham Harrell's air raid offense. It all starts with QB Kedon Slovis who threw for 1,921 yards, 17 TDs and completed 67% of his passes in 2020. He returns his top WR in Drake London and also Bru McCoy and Colorado transfer WR K.D. Nixon. The run game is rarely utilized in an air raid offense, but Vavae Malepeai and Texas transfer Keaontay Ingram will be very solid options out of the backfield. The defense took a major step forward in Todd Orlando's first year as DC. USC ranked in the top four of the PAC-12 in all major defensive categories and had a top 40 defense overall. While they do lose their leader in Talanoa Hufanga, Drake Jackson returns to lead the LB core and Isaiah Pola-Mao brings tons of experience and leadership to the secondary. USC has the benefit of hosting Utah in early October, but they must travel to Arizona State, arguably their toughest competitor in the South, in November. Those two games could very well determine who wins the division. A favorable first half of the schedule could see USC start 6-0, but what they do after the bye week will ultimately determine the fate of Clay Helton.
