The Toreros have had a slow start to their season. They have played just eight games thus far and hold a 2-6 record over those games. They have only faced one ranked team before this, and that happened in a massive loss to the UCLA Bruins to open their season.

This game is an epic mismatch that many may write off. However, is there a way the Toreros could possibly pull off a herculean upset?

Quite frankly, it will take a once-in-a-lifetime upset for the Bulldogs to lose this game. They out-match most teams ranked outside the top-five of the AP Top 25 Poll, let alone a lowly un-ranked team. This should be an easy and possibly big win for the Bulldogs.
