Agree - except USC isn&#x27;t in a BOWL game they care about... That is always a problem with such a high profile team, Alabama is great example, as is USC in the past.&#xD;&#xA;If it is not important, they dont care.... Dont know the team itself close enough. Full of Senoirs is bad, lots of underclassman starting would help...

Game is in San Diego - Nebraska fans could care less about traveling.

Alabama was in contention for the national title when they lost, thus giving Utah and Oklahoma a signature win over a team that didn&#x27;t give a damn. USC is still rebuilding the program, and a win over Nebraska would continue to be a solid stepping stone. I like USC huge in this one. Baylor and TCU would be two teams that I would think fit into your theory a little better. Arizona also. Just my two cents.&#xD;&#xA; [/Quote]

Ignorant statement.

USC wins big here

Wrong...  I&#x27;ve gone a lot of times to this bowl and Big 12 teams love the Holiday Bowl because they could spend Xmas and New Years in 70 degree weather.  Nebraska travels and the USC fans here consider this bowl an insult.  I would expect 60-70% of this ancient stadium to be filled, and 60% USC fans and 40% Nebraska fans.

usc crushed fresno last year, and that was also &#x27;meaningless&#x27; bowl game, so I don&#x27;t think the game&#x27;s importance is a negative factor for them

&#xD;&#xA;that&#x27;s what you thought after they crushed fresno in last year&#x27;s bowl game, but this season was a bomb

Lionmonster · Answer

I like it a lot.

Fair line is 13 in my humble opinion

as you all know nothing is guaranteed in sports betting but USC absolutely owns the B1G over the past several decades & this matchup doesn't bode well for the blackshirts, huskers will need to put up 34 + to cover that number

Really think USC gets over the 40 mark

just my worthless opinion

Had they been in the hunt for the P12 south late in the season &amp; had a devastating loss then one could say they were in a let down spot. But the way they responded in beating ND after losing to UCLA tells me they still have the will to win........Sark is trying to rebuild USC back to where it was 9-10 years ago.........recruiting. On the flip side, Nebraska could be pointed at as being down &amp; doesn&#x27;t care. But if you look at what happened LY after Sark took the USC job before Washingtons bowl game vs BYU then we know they could come out &amp; play hard in protest of Pelini being canned. No one gave the Huskies much of a chance vs BYU with an interim HC but they beat BYU rather decisively. Not saying USC ISN&#x27;T the play here, but I&#x27;d give it due diligence in capping the game.

OmahaStylee · Answer

Trust me, interest for this game is very low in Nebraska, much lower than it normally is for a bowl game. Nobody cares too much about this game.

SoMuchCho · Answer

I actually think the Trojans are a team Husker nation respects and they have no choice but to stand up for this game. The seniors will want those 10 wins and Mike Rileys not coaching this game but I&#x27;m sure he gave the scouting report on them. USC has scholarship issues and depth could be a real liability. Remember Boston College ran it down Trojans throats and Huskers can pound the rock. Just saying to all the USC backers.
