Michigan - USC 2025

USC 36

M at USC prediction based on old video

We looked into going out to LA for this match-up, but it couldn't justify the cost for such a quick trip. Although M and USC have met 8 times in the Rose Bowl, this will be only the second time they have faced off in the LA Coliseum.

M took down a pretty disappointing USC squad in 1957 by the score of 16-6. Even in black and white, M looks good in their classic road uniforms with the iconic Coliseum facade in the background.

But before moving to the play their home games in the Rose bowl, UCLA also used to call the Coliseum home. So M has played an additional game there, facing the Bruins in 1972. Michigan again prevailed 26-9.

I think it will be closer than either of these previous contests, but M still prevails...
