Without a doubt, the match-up between No. 1 USC and No. 14 ASU will be the game to watch this weekend. Senior quarterback Matt Leinart and company showed that they might be human last week against Oregon, if only for a moment. The Trojans gave up 13 unanswered points then righted the ship with 45 of their own.
Meanwhile, ASU hung with a determined LSU team in week two and continued on with a win against Northwestern in week three and a blowout win in week four against a tough Oregon State team. ASU junior quarterback Sam Keller has already passed for 1,443 yards and 16 touchdowns. Leinart has 1,028 yards and 10 touchdowns-still nothing to take lightly. ASU is a feisty team, and if their defense can baffle Leinart as Oregon did last week, we may see an upset.
