USC is arguably the most recognizable NCAA football program on the West Coast. Throughout the decades, the Trojans have become synonymous with powerful, highly skilled offense, often drawing on the fertile high school recruiting grounds that California has to offer.

Because of this, college football bettors often target USC football odds when considering an over bet in the totals market. That’s especially true these days, with head coach Lincoln Riley in charge of the offense.

Inevitably, whenever USC plays another high-scoring game, fans run to their phones to figure out whether or not the latest shootout ranks among the highest-scoring USC football games of all time.

Usually, the answer is no. For any given game to crack the list, there needs to be a lot of points.
