The Pick
The first chapter of the Lincoln Riley era at Southern California couldn't have gone better as the former Oklahoma coach watched his squad drop 66 points on Rice. Oklahoma transfer QB Caleb Williams and Pitt transfer WR Jordan Addison showed a good connection immediately, hooking up for a couple of touchdowns. Stanford will struggle to stop that duo, so give the points in what should be a high-scoring game.
