The USC Trojans have allowed 10 points or less in six of their eight Pac-10 games this season, and we do not expect the pathetic UCLA Bruins offense to reach double-digits here.

It should also be noted, however, that the USC offense is averaging 37.1 points in conference, and they may not quite be on top of their game here knowing that they now have virtually no chance of playing in the BCS Championship Game. It would not be at all surprising if this game resembles the meeting between these clubs last season, when the Trojans won just 24-7.

Now make no mistake, the Bruins are terrible this season. That said, their defense has actually played very well the last two games. Yes, holding Washington to seven points does not mean much, but they followed up that effort by incredibly limiting Arizona State to only 127 total yards of offense last week.

It is fairly amazing that they lost that game 34-9, but consider that they did not allow a single offensive touchdown, as the four Sun Devils touchdowns came on three interception returns and a fumble return! Also, UCLA will no doubt be the more motivated team this weak, so we feel an inspired defense can keep this final score quasi-respectable if they could match their efforts of the last two contests.

Thus, the end result should be a much lower scoring game than many people expect.
