USC Favourites to Roll over Arizona State in National Championship Showdown

USC is a well-established powerhouse that are favourites for the National Championship. Their dominance in their three games has been highlighted by a 56-10 win against Stanford. Meanwhile, Arizona State Sun Devils have lost two of their three games, and lack the offense to stay competitive in this one. In addition, their freshman QB, Jaden Rashada, has been injured and will not play. USC's defense has limited their opponents to below 350 yards per game, with quarterback Caleb Williams having one of the top QBRs in the FBS. In their last matchup, Arizona State were held to 24 points by an FCS team and were just shut out by Fresno State. Having seen Fresno State defeat ASU by 29 points, I am confident USC can exceed the number.
