The 90th annual football game between crosstown rivals USC and UCLA takes place Saturday.
The seventh-ranked Trojans and No. 16 Bruins have two of the top three offenses in the Pac-12. They have combined for 81.9 points and 1,003.5 combined yards per game this season.
The Trojans’ passing game could be under more strain this week after running back Travis Dye suffered a season-ending ankle injury in last week’s win over Colorado. UCLA has one of the nation’s top rushing attacks, averaging 240.1 yards per game. Zach Charbonnet leads the conference with 1,145 yards and has six straight 100-yard games."UCLA has as good a run game as most in college football. They are going to be able to lean on their big, physical backs," Klatt said.Austin Jones is expected to be the first option to take over for Dye, who accounted for nearly half of USC’s rushing yards and 43% of its carries.
