Fresno State at No. 7 USC Prediction for Week 3

Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

I will say this, Jeff Tedford has the Bulldogs playing at a level the program has not seen for some time. He's 26-14 in his four years there as the head coach, and he has QB Jake Haener playing well so far this season. Haener has completed 74.7 percent of his passes and racked up 737 passing yards against Cal Poly and Oregon State, although the Beavers game resulted in a disappointing 35-32 loss last weekend. Tedford's defense is going to have to be at its very best for USC's dynamic rushing attack that has been unstoppable against its opponents entering Week 3.

The Bulldogs have a good secondary, so they should be able to hold their own against the passing attack. Fresno State has not played elite competition but they did hold Oregon State under 220 passing yards and only one touchdown. It's on the ground where they got slammed, which could be cause for major concern against this Trojan team.
