Summary
Ohio State and USC will face each other as conference opponents for the first time when OSU heads west on Oct. 31. It's the first game on the back half of the schedule and could end up being a checkpoint in the season for both, depending on everything that happens leading up to it. Could Ryan Day provide the final blow to what has so far been an underwhelming Lincoln Riley era in Los Angeles? Or will Riley use that game to announce that the Trojans are finally a playoff-caliber program?
