You would have to be a fool to give 9.5 and take USC. I don't care if they cover. Lane Kiffin is not to be trusted with his fukin 2 point conversions.
Outside of Barkley and Woods, USC's offense is a joke. That defense is still sketchy.
Utah is well coached, they have a veteran QB, an offensive coordinator that would love to stick it to a program he used to coach for, and a solid defense.
As for home field advantage...There is no home field advantage at the Coliseum. I've seen USC play there many times. Fukin pussy crowd.
