Matt Zemek, Trojans WireSat, November 22, 2025 at 7:12 PM UTC·2 min readHere we go. It's USC football at Oregon in the game which will define the Trojans' season. Trojans Wire analyst Ethan Inman looked at the matchup where USC figures to have trouble, the Trojans' defensive front against the proven Oregon ground game:
"Oregon has 3 running backs with 400+ yards this season: Noah Whittington, Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. They average 6.3 yards per carry. Stopping the run is going to be a tough task for USC. But they must do it if they want to win. Whittington gets the most carries, but Oregon divides the carries between the three backs very evenly. The Ducks also get Dante Moore's legs involved and will go to fourth stringer Jayden Limar as well.

"Davison is more of a power back. The Ducks will go to him in short yardage situations in the red zone; he leads the team in rushing touchdowns with 12. Hill Jr. is the most balanced back of the group, possessing a combination of power and speed."
USC has to contain the ground game and make Dante Moore win this game. The Trojans, though, have been terrible in high-profile road games against elite opposition under Lincoln Riley. Oregon is a 10.5-point favorite going in. The Trojans have a lot to prove.
