USC football is set to face the Wisconsin Badgers this season. The Trojans will need to contain two standout players: linebacker Mason Posa and quarterback Colton Joseph. Posa, coming off a strong performance with 25 tackles and 4 tackles for loss, could be pivotal for Wisconsin's defense. Meanwhile, Joseph's dual-threat capability, highlighted by over 1,000 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, presents a challenge for the Trojans if he remains healthy. USC has a roster perceived as superior, but both Posa and Joseph's performance could significantly influence the outcome of the game.
