USC head coach Clay Helton apparently has a tremendous amount of respect for UNLV QB Armani Rogers. Keep an eye on the Rebels passer today, who was a Pac-12 caliber recruit.
"2100 yards between those two men (Rogers and tailback Lexington Thomas), that dual-threat capability especially with the quarterback," Helton told Jill Stein of the Pac-12 network before the game. "Even in the passing game, his ability to take off and move the chains. We have to do a great job of staying in our pass rush lanes, get him on the ground on third down and get off the field."
That'll be a decent test for a defense which is being hyped as world beaters. At least a better test than we all expected out of the UNLV quarterback position before the start of the season.

Pola-Mao forces a fumble on UNLV's first play and Gustin recovered.
Future is bright for Pola-Mao, I think we can all agree.

Not impressed with USC's offensive line or the play calls on that first Trojan drive. Run over the Rebels and set up the freshman should be the plan.
One poor run play followed by a few incomplete passes aint the way to start the season.
3-0 USC after a shaky field goal attempt goes in.

Only thought so far as we're almost halfway through the first.
The USC offensive line needs to get it together quickly. Because UNLV is winning upfront. The offense is a mess because of it.
UNLV doesn't have a chance to score it seems but this is heading towards a low scoring game.

USC needs 50 yard passes and field goals to score field goals on UNLV.
And when that's the case, one bad moment can be really disastrous.
7-6 UNLV after a fake double reverse goes for a long touchdown.

USC continues its field goal drive killing ways while UNLV makes plays when needed.
14-9 UNLV with 10:15 left in the second quarter.
USC is driving though after a Carr kick return.

USC can only get a field goal out of that drive. 14-12 UNLV.
This is one of the worst football games I've ever been forced to watch.
