Preview: USC vs. Colorado
Gary Klein and Lindsey Thiry preview USC’s Friday game at Colorado.
Temperatures are forecast to dip below freezing when USC plays Colorado on Friday at Folsom Field in Boulder.
The Trojans (6-3 overall, 4-2 in the Pac-12) defeated Arizona last week, 38-30, and became bowl eligible.
The Buffaloes (4-6, 1-5) fell to Stanford, 42-10.
USC tailback Tre Madden will be sidelined -- against the worst rushing defense in the conference -- because of a bone bruise, Coach Clay Helton announced.
Center Khaliel Rodgers and defensive lineman Claude Pelon were slowed during the practice week because of a shoulder and knee injury, respectively, but are expected to play, Helton said.
USC is 9-0 against Colorado, including victories the last four years since the Buffaloes joined the Pac-12.
The game is scheduled to kickoff at 6 pm PST on on ESPN2.
