October 28: USC Trojans

On October 28, the Sun Devils will look to embarrass the Trojans after being embarrassed for the past two seasons.

The Trojans are a team that could very well be one of the top teams in the country at this time in the season. After a slow start in 2016, they finished the season strong and ended up winning the Rose Bowl over Penn State. A majority of that team will be returning, plus they will be adding a strong recruiting class to give the offense even more firepower.

This game will mean a lot for the Sun Devils. USC and Oregon have seemed to be the two teams that have always had ASU’s number during the Todd Graham era and while Graham has coached ASU to victories over USC, the past two seasons have been complete blowouts.

If ASU were able to come up with a victory over USC, it could wreak havoc on the Pac-12 south standings. USC is my favorite to win the Pac-12 south in 2017, but even losing a single game could be the difference in the southern division.

With the season about to enter the final month of the season, the USC game could be a decisive one for ASU. That one victory could be the difference between Todd Graham being the coach of the Sun Devils in 2018 or seeing a new face on the sideline of Frank Kush field in 2018.
