"Coming off rivarly game" is meaningless to me. I think it's more of a CB generated thing than anything else.

USC's pure athleticism on both sides of the ball could end up being really hard to deal with. With those WRs, they're going to light it up passing. And I think they'll be one of the harder teams to run on with that DL.

Toledo might end up being the worst defensive team we play. Probably UMASS but Toledo could be close. USF returns a ton and has a ton of athleticism, but they were flat out not good last year. Their winning streak was fools gold against bad teams and then their losing streak came. SDSU's losing streak was bad too.
