For the 2026 USC game, the writer projects Oregon's left-guard competition to remain between Douglas Utu, who started the opener, and Kawika Rogers, who started against Portland State, following Trent Ferguson's season-ending injury.

USC reserve running back Riley Wormley gained 52 rushing yards and a touchdown on three carries against Rutgers in 2026, adding a two-yard touchdown catch.

USC quarterback Jayden Maiava completed 62.5 percent of his passes against Rutgers in 2026. The preview says he struggled against pressure, including before halftime when USC settled for a field goal instead of extending its lead to double digits. This is the writer's performance assessment, not an announced protection change or quarterback switch.
