On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio previewing the No. 11 USC's road trip to Minnesota, with the Trojans facing off against a desperate Golden Gophers squad that is 2-3 on the season and looking for its first Big Ten conference win of the season. The game will be on live at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time and 6:30 p.m. Central Time and shown on the Big Ten Network.

The guys talk about some of the matchups for this game including the highly ranked defense for Minnesota including a secondary that has eight interceptions on the season. The Gophers have been more pedestrian on offense and the offensive line already has 15 penalties on the season, but as we saw against Michigan they can put together some good drives and should be a tough test for D'Anton Lynn's defense. Both teams have had some up and down plays from their special teams units and it could come down to which side avoids the huge mistake or makes the game changing play in the kicking game.

The guys also discuss USC's injury situation, the progress of the offensive line, what it will take for the Trojans to get their first Big Ten road victory and lots more.
