Here’s our pick for the Cotton Bowl between Tulane and USC at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN.
It’s also been a terrific season for USC, who only had their College Football Playoff aspirations dashed in a loss to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game, but this could be a tough spot for the Trojans. Not only will they be disappointed not to be among the four contenders for the national championship, but they’ll also need to make due without several key players.
And that’s before we even get to Tulane’s defense, which has been superb this season. The Green Wave ranked inside the top 25 in yards per play and were the 11th-best team in the country in limiting explosive plays through the air this season. Tulane’s run defense ranked 68th in success rate, but it also was 31st in preventing explosive runs.
