michigan will not have played in 6 weeks to USC's 4 weeks plus it is a virtual home game for USC....dont underestimate these 2 things....i'm leaning toward thinking USC will win this game even though I believe is michigan is a soundly better team...if michigan can shake the rust in the first quarter and a half, theyll win

Is there really much difference between 4 weeks and 6? At a certain point it gets close to even. I'm mostly worried about the O-line. If they protect Henne and we can run reasonably well, we win, maybe comfortably. That's a big if though.
