So we're going on margin now? How does an average differance of 36.34 points sound? Face it, USC has a good offense. According to points per game, Texas has a better one. Texas also has a defense. USC doesn't. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the real story won't be how much of a shootout the game was. It'll be when SC finally scores their first points.
I'd be willing to guess that's within the first 7 minutes of the game.
Let's check back and see.
