We have a chance because they aren't a great team.  But the areas where they have individual talent are really going to hurt us.  Barkley, Kalil and Woods makes it seem like they can play pitch and catch all day.  I don't foresee us getting any pressure on Barkley.  Tyler being back hurts as well.  However, Barkley isn't Andrew Luck.  I think we might be able to get a TO out of him.

On the other side of the ball, they have a veteran DL, which scares me.  But they have some young LBs.  If they are too overaggressive, maybe we can break a few big plays.

We will also need to win special teams.

If we were playing a comparable team on the east coast, I would feel better, but traveling out there and playing in that environment with our past on the west coast, it is going to be an uphill battle.  Not insurmountable, but definitely very tough.

We beat Virginia Tech in 2001 on special teams, winning the turnover battle and playing smart football.  We can beat USC doing the same, hopefully.
