USC focuses on upcoming games featuring UCLA and Wisconsin

USC football has a bye week after seven consecutive games and will closely monitor the Wisconsin-UCLA matchup this Saturday. The Trojans are set to face both teams later this season, with Wisconsin on October and UCLA in November. Wisconsin recently rallied from a 17-0 deficit to defeat Penn State, showcasing a strong second-half defensive performance. UCLA, led by starting quarterback Ty Dieffenbach and star running back Wayne Knight, also emphasized their defense in a recent game against Oregon. This game is expected to highlight how well each team's defense handles turnovers and field position, with implications for USC's strategies against both opponents.
