I certainly don't know how anyone could trust Clay Helton in the favorite role (7-15 ATS), and a QB that just played probably his best game ever 28-33 377 yards 3 TD's, in Kedon Slovis who just 2 weeks ago was the third string QB here. I'm betting that doesn't happen again, and this is a major sandwich game for USC with Utah on deck especially how everyone is telling USC how great they are and they are back in the top 25.

BYU opened the season against Utah in a 30-12 loss, but that game was much closer, and I expect BYU's crowd to really be a factor here. I think USC played their A game against Stanford, and I really don't see them playing their A game in back to back weeks. They were awful on the road last year only winning by 4 at Arizona, and 3 at Oregon State, the two worst PAC 12 teams last year.

I think BYU and Zach Wilson got their confidence last week against Tennessee, and I think it carries into this game. I really like what I see from Wilson as QB. It hasn't showed up this year, but I think he has a big game here. On the flip side I think Kedon Slovis makes a mistake. BYU returns a ton of experience on defense. A defense that was 26th in passing defense against a pretty good strength of schedule. They also were #1 in explosive defense, and I think they are just going to bore USC into turnovers. BYU also #17 in special teams and is proving they are just as good this year. I think they do all the little things to get this win at home.
