USC vs UNLV is tonight - worth watching if I only half follow college football?
USC vs UNLV is the game everyone is searching for tonight and I am a casual college football fan at best. I know USC is the big name and UNLV has been the fun underdog story, but I have no idea if this one is actually competitive or just a blowout waiting to happen. For people who watch more than I do: is this a real game, what is the one matchup to watch, and is it worth clearing my evening for or should I just catch the highlights?

- Watch the trenches, not the score bug
It is worth a look, but watch the line of scrimmage, not the score bug. UNLV has been able to run the ball against better teams than people expect, and USC has had games this year where the defensive front just did not show up. If UNLV is moving the ball on the ground early, it stays interesting into the second half. If USC jumps out by three scores in the first quarter, switch to highlights and you missed nothing.
