USC defense is more than good enough to stop Fresno State. The Fresno State defense on the other hand will be swiss cheese trying to cover Nelson Anghlor and Marquise Lee. The Bulldogs defense hasn't seen any receivers at their caliber yet this season. Javorious Allen is also going to have a field day pounding the rock. The only way Fresno can hang is by scoring on every possession, that will not happen against a USC defense. People will be fooled in taking Fresno because USC barely beat Utah State by only 3 points earlier in the season. That was a conservative USC team with Lane Kiffin, much more aggressive offensive team now.
