TV and radio information, odds, matchup breakdown and a prediction for the Cotton Bowl Monday.
USC: OUT: WR Jordan Addison , EDGE Romello Height , C Brett Neilon , OT Andrew Vorhees ; Tulane: N/AFor USC, its first 12-win season since 2008 and first bowl win since the 2017 Rose Bowl. It would also mark the Trojans’ first Cotton Bowl win since the 1994 season and would give the Trojans momentum entering the off-season with national championship aspirations in mind. For Tulane, it would complete the improbable swing from a two-win team in 2021 to 12 wins this season.
Down Addison and two senior offensive linemen, with quarterback Caleb Williams coming off a hamstring pull, the pressure will be on USC’s receivers to get open so that Williams can get rid of the ball quickly. That’s not an easy task against a Tulane defense that allowed 188.5 passing yards per game and broke up 44 passes this season.
