Purdue vs. USC betting preview
Odds: USC -20.5, over/under 59.5
USC kicked off its second season in the Big Ten with an emphatic 73-13 win against Missouri State when quarterback Jayden Maiava threw for 295 yards and had two touchdowns. The junior was even more impressive in Week 2 when he threw for 412 yards with four touchdowns in a 59-20 win against Georgia Southern. He leads quarterbacks across all conferences with 16.8 yards per pass and will face his toughest test yet against Purdue's defense.
The Boilermakers have also pulled off two high-scoring victories, shutting out Ball State, 31-0, and defeating Southern Illinois, 34-17. New head coach Barry Odom appears to be turning around a team that went 1-11 last year and has the potential to start 3-0 for the first time since 2004.
