No. 7 USC faces off with 21st-ranked Oregon in Los Angeles
on Saturday to open a three-game home stretch. This is the
toughest stretch of the season for USC (7-1, 5-1), which also
plays No. 8 California and No. 9 Notre Dame at home before
a season-ending game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl. SBG
Global reports that the offshore betting public
has lost all respect for Trojans with a majority of money
on Oregon.
''Everything is going to happen in L.A.,'' said head coach
Pete Carroll. ''It's been a long year on the road with a lot
of trips and stuff. Now we have the benefit of being home
the rest of the season, and we have to make the most of it.''
The Trojans still have a good chance to represent the Pac-10
in the Rose Bowl.
USC is an 8 point home favorite at SBG
Global.
USC trails Cal by one game in the conference standings, with
the winner likely to play the loser of the Ohio State-Michigan
game in Pasadena. ''We can't control what happens,'' receiver
Dwayne Jarrett said. ''The only thing we can control is us.
All we can do is keep winning and playing hard and at the
end of the season we'll see what happens.''
USC is coming off a 42-0 rout of Stanford last Saturday.
The win came a week after a 33-31 loss to Oregon State, the
team's first regular-season loss in more than three years.

''People thought after that loss to Oregon State, we'd just
tumble and fall,'' linebacker Rey Maualuga said. ''I feel
like we came out and made a statement. We're coming and we're
hungry.''
This is the first time USC has hosted Oregon (7-2, 4-2) since
a 28-17 loss in 2000. The Ducks (7-2, 4-2) are coming off
a 34-14 win over Washington last week, giving them back-to-back
wins for the first time since starting the season 4-0. The
Trojans lead the all-time series 35-15-2, but Oregon is 4-3
in the last seven meetings
