As much as it pains me to say this, that's a pretty promising matchup for the Cards. USC's defense is abysmal at full strength. No way Williams (and others) will play in that meaningless bowl game. So, very possible the Cards are fired up, at nearly full strength vs USC's 2nd string who basically don't care. Hope (pray) I'm wrong but I don't see USC giving 2 sh!ts about this game and their #1 overall QB will definitely opt out (as will many others, imo).
