Both of these teams came into this year with National Title aspirations, and both can still get there. But both of these teams have a glaring weakness: OSU has a stagnant offensive line and running game, USC can't stop a nosebleed. 

In your opinion, which issue is worse to have? Personally I think having a defense and passing game we can lean on puts us in a better spot than USC, who is going to pretty much HAVE to outscore people to win, especially in their bigger games coming up. Even with their Heisman winning QB, if their offense stumbles, they are at risk because their defense isn't stopping anyone.
