USC was 1 of 2 Top-25 programs to kick its season off prior to the official Week 1 (Notre Dame being the other). The Trojans were at home and beat San Jose State 56-28, failing to cover as a 31.5-point favorite. Heisman Trophy-winning QB Caleb Williams threw for 278 passing yards and 4 TDs with RB Austin Jones chipping in 54 rushing yards and 2 TDs. USC is No. 6 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.
Nevada will be led by transfer redshirt sophomore QB Brendon Lewis. Lewis played in 12 games for Colorado in the 2021 season, throwing for 1,540 yards and 10 TDs. He played in 2 games last season. The Wolf Pack made 4 straight bowl games prior to last season, which was the 1st for coach Ken Wilson. The Wolf Pack went 2-10 last season and 0-8 in the Mountain West Conference.

Nevada at USC head-to-head
USC has won all 5 games between the 2 programs, but take that win a grain of salt. It beat Nevada in Los Angeles 66-0 on Nov. 9, 1929, the last time these teams played.
With Nevada being in the MWC and USC in the Pac-12 and transitioning to the Big Ten, there isn’t much reason these 2 teams often cross paths. The sportsbook, as was the case in the 1920s, expect a blowout here.
