The Arizona State Sun Devils head into this game with a record of 1-3 on the season with an 0-1 conference record. They are coming off a rough loss at home against the Utah Utes where they lost by a final score of 34-13. In that game, quarterback Emory Jones led the Sun Devils in passing yards with 261 and one touchdown. Unfortunately, Jones also threw 2 interceptions and had -26 rushing yards on 11 attempts. Statistically, the Sun Devils had 200 fewer total yards of offense and they committed 3 turnovers in this game. On top of that, their defense was on the field for a long time as the Utes had a time of possession of 35:33. Nothing seemed to work for the Sun Devils as they headed into halftime trailing 24-6. Now on the road against the Trojans, it will be a miracle if they are able to win this game. 

The USC Trojans are playing great football as they are 4-0 on the season with a 2-0 conference record. On top of that, they are currently ranked as the #6 team in the country.

In that game, quarterback Caleb Williams led the team in passing yards with 180 and one touchdown. Wide receiver Jordan Addison caught a 21-yard touchdown from Williams to win the game late in the fourth quarter. Runningback Travis Dye had a solid performance for the Trojans as he rushed for 133 yards on 19 attempts and 1 rushing touchdown.

This game will be an easy victory for the Trojans at home.

This game will also be an opportunity for USC to snap a one-game losing streak against Arizona State and potentially start the beginning of a winning streak under head coach Lincoln Riley.
