Penn State was favored on the road in this matchup, but USC has played very well. The Trojans are looking for redemption after they lost at Minnesota in Week 6.

Singleton has not had an explosive game as a runner, but he is second on the team in receptions in this game behind tight end Tyler Warren with 4. That touchdown also pushed Singleton up to 39 receiving yards on the day.

USC is 6-4 all-time against Penn State and has won the last 3 games in this series. This is the first time these teams have met on a campus site since 1994.
