What: USC Trojans at No. 10 Arizona Wildcats
When: 10:30 PM ET, October 11, 2014
Where: Arizona Stadium, Tucson, AZ
TV Schedule: ESPN 2
Live Stream: ESPN
Where They Stand:
USC Trojans (-3) (3-2, 2-1 Pac-12)
No. 10 Arizona Wildcats (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12)
Both USC and No. 10 Arizona are coming off weeks in which they came away greatly changed. The Trojans lost to Arizona State on a hail mary that ended the game and the Wildcats knocked off then-ranked No. 2 Oregon Ducks on the road.
Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said he was impressed with his team’s ability to pull off such a hard win and said he expects more of the same this week.
"I was impressed with our players' attitudes going into the game and afterward," coach Rich Rodriguez said. "We celebrated in the locker room a little bit and then got on the plane. Maybe because it was so late, five minutes after takeoff it was silent.
"Our guys have the ability to focus quickly. I think they know how important this game is as well.”
Arizona gets no respect from Las Vegas this week as the Trojans are favored on the road against the newly ranked Wildcats. The Wildcats have said they don’t look at those things and that nothing has changed in the way they prepare and play.
Arizona has the lead in the Pac-12 at the moment and could tighten their grip on the conference with a win, but a loss would drop them to the one-loss category with most of the pack.
USC has dominated the all-time series against Arizona 28-8 and have won 10 of the last 12 against their Pac-12 rival.
