College Football: Let's just PRETEND this will live upto the hype

So there's a huge, Huge, HUGE game this weekend between current ranked #1 USC Trojans, and #5 Ohio State Buckeyes. So this can only end as it always does; in tears for Ohio State fans. Lord knows THE university can win out in the pathetic big 10 conference, but play a ranked team and they can't put one foot in front of the other! Despite the hype- even Vegas is realistic, as USC is a 10 1/2 favorite.
What will be interesting is how well injured OSU running back Beanie Wells will play after missing last week's game due to a foot injury suffered in their season opener. OSU barely squeaked out a victory against in state rival Ohio last Saturday with Wells out. They need Wells and baby freshman qb Terelle Pryor to have performances legends are made from.

USC handsome QB Mark Sanchez will lead a very powerful Trojans offense. USC is just a better, more explosive, well rounded team...period. Pete Carroll's ( my absolute favorite College Football head coach- the man is sooo Hollywood, so freakin crazy it makes my head explode!) program has a sparkling reputation for embarrassing Big 10 teams ( ask former ND QB Brady Quinn about how it went for him against USC!).

Oh, and its IN Los Angeles- the stars and celebs will be out, and by out, I mean on the sidelines. Denzel has already confirmed! Also USC song girls, prettiest cheerleaders on the PLANET.

This ones pretty much in the bag, but getting hype nonetheless....should make for a great Saturday along with some other good matchups!
