Pressuring Williams is important. Oregon State did that to him and Williams went 16/36 for 180 yards

and a touchdown. USC accumulated 357 total yards of offense and barely won 17-14.

I've got to believe Al Golden will have a good game plan and our defense has a lot more dudes on it than the teams he's been playing in the PAC-12.

On offense, we just need to run over them and use limited and well-timed play action. We'll get in trouble when we try to get cute and throw on early downs and miss. SC has lived on getting turnovers so it is important to not give them too many chances. Drew Pyne has been good in limiting turnovers and he'll have to be good again on Saturday.

I'd love to see us get into 13 personnel with Mayer and Thomas split out, then bring in Mayer and Thomas tight so it is basically 14 personnel with no one split out for the first play of the game and run DUO with Diggs or Estime. Hit them in the mouth as hard as we can on the first play. Send the message right off the bat to our team and theirs that we are here to beat them up physically and kick their asses all night long.
