The model has taken note of Southern Cal freshman QB Kedon Slovis, who replaced injured starter JT Daniels to go 28 for 33 for 377 yards and three touchdowns against Stanford. BYU QB Zach Wilson has thrown for 440 yards in two games, but has twice as many interceptions as TD passes and has also been sacked five times. The Cougars gave up 418 yards to Tennessee last week, and will be facing a stiffer test with the Trojans offense Saturday afternoon. Southern Cal hasn't lost to BYU in two previous meetings, outscoring the Cougars 77-28 in those games, and wants that trend to continue.
The Cougars, meanwhile, were down a majority of the game against Tennessee, but stunned their SEC foe with a 64-yard pass from Zach Wilson to Micah Simon that set up a late field-goal attempt. The Cougars connected to tie it up at the end of regulation and then got the win in overtime. Wilson threw for 232 yards and a touchdown, while South Carolina transfer Ty'Son Williams piled up 92 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground.
