- QB: Agree, I watched both this season and wasn't impressed with either team.

- Rutgers' two quarterbacks have combined for seven interceptions through two games in 2026 despite moving the ball, according to the USC preview. The writer wants USC to create at least two interceptions in this matchup; that is a proposed performance target, not a forecast presented as certain or a quarterback-change report. - Rutgers receiver KJ Duff exceeded 100 receiving yards in each of the first two games. The preview calls limiting him to fewer than 100 yards a priority for USC's defense, but does not report Gary Patterson's coverage plan or any change in Duff's availability. - USC freshman defender Luke Wafle led the team in tackles against Louisiana but had not recorded a collegiate sack entering Rutgers. The writer's call for his first sack is a desired outcome, not evidence of a new pass-rushing role or an announced lineup change.

- Pick/market: Mater Dei is rolling with a 3 QB rotation since the beginning of the season.

- QB: One sack came as he was getting blocked to the ground and the QB tripped over him.

- Pick/market: The 2026 USC football regular season is already a quarter of the way finished, as crazy as that may seem with it barely halfway into the month of September.

- USC has ruled Trent Mosley out after a knee injury, with no return timetable shared; Terrell Anderson and Tanook Hines are also recovering. The writer sees King Miller separating from Waymond Jordan after 128 yards on 18 carries against Louisiana, while freshman tight end Mark Bowman caught six passes and two touchdowns. - USC's first-team defense held Louisiana to 116 first-half yards, including 47 rushing, but the reserves allowed 231 yards on three second-half touchdown drives. The preview identifies defensive depth, especially if the secondary or line must rotate more against stronger opponents, as an unresolved concern rather than judging the starters alone by the final score.

- USC is completing more than 80% of its passes, giving its passing attack a favorable-looking test against Rutgers' inexperienced cornerback group. The preview also flags USC's defensive third-down problems under new coordinator Gary Patterson as a possible way for Rutgers to sustain possessions. These are matchup assessments, not a confirmed score or betting play.

- Injury: If we are honest, all he’s shown (as a true freshman), is that he can be an effective #3 with 2 NFL WR’s ahead of him on the depth chart.

- Injury: In my opinion, the best way to limit Duff is get pressure on their QB and don’t worry about shutting down Duff.

- WR: Trent is our most talented WR, but out of all the position rooms the next man up is still WR1 level.

- QB/RB: Would rather spend the money on DL and a portal QB than a RB

- QB/LB: I heard Wafle will be having a full serving of QB for dinner.

- Coaching: Play action remains one of the favored weapons in the arsenal of every offensive coordinator.

- QB: Rush defense has not been super impressive.

- Pick/market: We don’t need someone who does what he does.

- Injury: Problem is when they gave us they will play out of there minds!!!

- QB/LB: Not a qb guru but habits are hard to break if he has been doing it this long.

- QB/LB: Well, there's no question someone talented is going to take over the job, but I think that line of thinking understates the value of matriculating multiple years through a coach's system as a QB...

- LB: He's their best receiver, but I think they'll miss him even more as a punt returner.

- QB: This is what makes the calculus on how attractive some of these jobs are.

- Injury: As much as this sucks, it's also insane the amount of Premium Talent we have at WR.

- Pick/market: I don't think anyone wants to fire Riley after this past weekend and being 3-0.

- QB: Correct, nor am I going to listen to some arm chair QB that thinks he can analyze game tape from a tv production.

- QB/LB: I imagine in 5 years just the top end of the QB market will be $10 million+.

- QB: There's zero exuse not to have a better back up QB by year 5.

- Injury: It’s crappy news but it’s time for Tanook and Anderson to step in.

- Injury: I’m not as concerned about the WR position but punt return team has been special with him back there.

- QB/RB: Lunch is an amazing runner, one of the best-running QBs I can recall seeing against SC.

- QB: Taking too long to develop so teams have been crashing heavy and our QB refuses to keep the ball

- QB/LB: The people on this board are so whiny and emotional lol.

- QB: Virtually every running play in Riley’s offense carries the option for the QB to keep it if he reads an empty side.

- Pick/market: I will add one more comment to this whole thing.

- OL: What’s interesting is that someone I listened to today mentioned that their o-line was doing the same thing!

- QB: The LA coach wanted the score to look respectable and risked his big qb to do it with running on every play in the 4th quarter.

- OL: the most important position group, the OL, had a couple great players but overall was below average for USC.

- QB/TE: I did notice a lot of player rotation already even in the first half.

- WR: Pretty sure he was ranked in the 60s for WR before that playoff run.

- QB: When Wafle was a step late and punished the Fresno QB with a late hit….I think I would have slipped him a hundy .

- OL: I very seldom have a problem with CLR calling too many run plays….quite the opposite actually…..

- RB: I agree with you and my error he leveled Lunch not their running back.

- OL: we were told: "Offensive line is considered a major strength for USC this season with all five starters last season back and seven in total with starts." Granted that was before Kilian went out...

- LB: For me, if I can’t impact the outcome, I look to who’s running the show.

- QB/DL: In that set of 4 or 5 play clips, he drops in to coverage in one play and loses contain on a QB scramble on the edge on another He’s clearly an SC DL

- QB/LB: I do think we will need a senior QB rental for next season as Williams continues to develop.

- QB: If you watched his games you know he is the real deal and the scouts think so too.

- QB: also Vince Young, not a run first guy, but has the girth (GM's favorite word) to tuck it & just run straight up field.

- Offense: Penalties are actually the fault of the head coach.

- Pick/market: I went from 7-5 to 8-4 for the regular season so I essentially agree with you.

- RB: I don't think most here realize that Alston has the highest run per carry average of all the RB's.

- Pick/market: I don’t if the o- line is just not physically move the d- line back or Waymo and Miller are too patient on hitting the hole, it’s just off.

- QB/OL: We are just going to have to be happy with the youth getting reps at the end of games, even though it looks really bad.

- OL: Sometimes I wish we had a package or two where we’d get under center and just go man on man and explode off ball and run some.

- Offense: Wormley is our best pass catching back so he gets reps.

- QB: USC has struggled with dual threat QBs since Pete Carroll was the head coach

- WR: I’m sorry he won’t be missed.

- QB/OL: That was a very solid college football team that just showed up to play.

- Offense: Because starters can play every snap and never get hurt.
