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

- 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.

- 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...

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

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

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

- 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 .

- 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.

- 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.

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

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