00:00i'm gonna stay in the big 10 because this is a juicy one you got usc coming on about coming off

00:05a bye nebraska northwestern we didn't think it was going to be a game it was a game

00:12nebraska six and two usc five and two rank number 23 on the road they're favored who do you got in

00:21this one because this matters it's like this matters and i think that's where we start this

00:25matters for nebraska and usc but it's a november night game at memorial stadium in lincoln for the

00:31first time since 2016 when you are six and two entering the month of november those games have

00:38the added layer of significance same for usc southern cal number 23 in the ap top 25 the

00:44narrative will be a play in this game the huskers trying to snap a 28 game losing skid against ap

00:51ranked foes dating back to a win over oregon in september of 2016 traveling has not been all that

00:58great for the trojans although they do have a bye week to prepare for this trip to lincoln nebraska

01:03under lincoln riley when usc has moved at least two time zones so from pacific to central that's two

01:09they are one and seven can usc overcome that from the matchup perspective the key to me in this game

01:16we're not going to see wayman jordan more than likely the usc star tailback who is dealing with

01:21an ankle injury more than likely it's the walk-on from my alma mater at calabasas high school we

01:26played for the same football team king miller played a lot better than i did can king miller

01:31establish the run against a nebraska rushing defense that has been atrocious this year

01:36northwestern ran all over them to the tune of more than 170 yards usc excelled in big boy big 10 football

01:44in that win over michigan and then got absolutely gouged in big boy not necessarily big 10 football

01:50but in south bend against notre dame can they figure it out off the bye week can they bring

01:55that physicality which has been nebraska's achilles hill on both sides trying to contain the rushing

02:00attack of their opponents has been incredibly difficult third worst rushing defense of the big

02:0410 so far this year and of course the offensive line has had its fair share of woes in the two losses

02:10this year for nebraska they allowed seven sacks against michigan and a program worst nine sacks

02:16against minnesota oh holy smokes all right we're gonna stay out well i guess that's in central but

02:21we're gonna stay with some traditional pack 12 teams a game there'll be a true night game out there

02:26on the west coast cincinnati pack 12 after dark taking on utah cincinnati dog again dog last week

02:33against baylor won by 20 points dog against utah they're seven and one they win this game i think

02:39they've got a pretty good shot at making the big 12 championship ben they're double digit dogs on the road

02:45got a nice quarterback and a pretty good offense what do you say the only loss for cincy this year

02:50bobby in the opener and arrowhead against nebraska since he's been overlooked and i think cincinnati

02:55is in a real pole position here to make a statement to continue to stay unblemished in big 12 play

03:00and to your point bobby maybe playing that conference championship game in just over a month
