Despite interim head coach Nate Dreiling being in his first game leading Utah State, the Aggies managed to find a way to win in Week 1.
But that was against Robert Morris. Now the Aggies are preparing to take on a top-tier FBS program in No. 13-ranked USC on the road for Week 2.
Here’s a look at the USU-USC contest.

Utah State vs. USC Prediction
I predict USC will win and cover the spread at -28.5. I also project the game will go Over 63.5 total points.
A week ago, I might’ve said Utah State had a chance to cover the spread in this matchup. But I think the Trojans proved how great they could be by beating LSU 27-20 in Week 1. USC quarterback Miller Moss was impressive, and the Trojans defense rose to the occasion.
I think Utah State has a decent roster. But I don’t believe the Aggies have enough to slow down USC’s offense or challenge the Trojans’ defense.
