Sports Chat Place: Take USC to cover vs. Fresno State
Chris Ruffolo writes: "I get the case to be made for the Bulldogs here as they’re a solid team with great QB play, but the problem is that USC is running like a well-oiled machine right now and simply aren’t a team I’m looking to step in front of right now. The Bulldogs still fell short against an average Oregon State team and with how USC picked apart Stanford last time out, I think it could be a long one for Fresno State here. Give me USC."
