USC faces a pivotal challenge as the Trojans head to Camp Randall to battle Wisconsin, with the key to victory hinging on shutting down the Badgers’ hard-nosed run game. Luke Fickell's squad has returned to its roots, emphasizing a physical ground attack highlighted by quarterback Colton Joseph, who led Wisconsin in rushing yards last week. But with their passing game stalling—Joseph went just 6-for-16 for 66 yards against UCLA—USC's defense has a golden opportunity to control the game in the trenches.
Can the Trojans expose Wisconsin’s lackluster offensive output or was their struggle merely a credit to UCLA’s dominant defense? Both teams arrive with noteworthy wins over Penn State, adding intrigue to this Big Ten showdown. The focus will be on whether USC's front can contain Joseph and disrupt Wisconsin’s rhythm, as the Trojans look to cement their status in their new conference.
