USC at Virginia College Football Betting Odds

USC FootballThe third-ranked USC Trojans begin the 2008 college football betting regular season with a bit of a chip on their shoulder after not making the National Championship game last season.

The Trojans have set an NCAA record with six straight 11-win seasons but last year was considered a failure because they did not even make the title game. This year they must avoid looking past Virginia to the game against Ohio State in two weeks.

"Every game is a championship game for us," USC head coach Pete Carroll said. The Trojans must replace 10 players that went to the NFL but at USC they don’t rebuild, they reload.

"We've had a terrific run with the kids that have been in the program, that have won national championships, but they've all left us," Carroll said. "To see the change in leadership and the emergence of the leadership, we sense a whole new excitement."

College football betting odds at SBGGlobal.com have USC as 19 point favorites on the road for Saturday's game at 3:30 pm EST on ABC.

Quarterback Mark Sanchez leads a very talented USC squad this season. He dislocated his left kneecap earlier this month but is ready for Saturday’s game. "Oh, I think so, absolutely. Especially mentally," Sanchez said, "I feel good about it. If it were up to me, I'm in."

Last season the Trojans were ranked #1 before the season but suffered the biggest loss in college football betting history as Stanford beat them in early October. They lost to Oregon later that month and finished 11-2 overall.

USC returns some excellent talent including linebackers Rey Maualuga and Brian Cushing. “I'm sure everybody's confident on the defensive side that we're going to be somebody," Maualuga said.

Virginia made it into the Top 25 last season but returns only 10 starters this season. "We like to have some challenging games on an on-going basis," Virginia head coach Al Groh said.

"It's good for our team. It brings out the best in your team. Competition is not about always scheduling to win. Competition is about stepping out there and putting yourself out there a little bit and seeing what you can do with it."
