Rutgers vs USC: Head-to-Head
This will be the first meeting between the Rutgers and USC on the gridiron. The Big 10 foes have never played against each other before.
The Trojans have squandered fourth-quarter leads in three straight games. Lincoln Riley's team needs to get its mojo together and regain its early-season form, which saw them defeating a higher-ranked team in the LSU Tigers.
Even the oddsmakers are favoring the Trojans, although the program has struggled to meet expectations this season.
Meanwhile, the Scarlet Knights will rely heavily on their running back, Kyle Monangai. The running back has carried the bulk of the offense with 154 carries, resulting in 845 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. The Achilles' heel for Rutgers is inefficient passing from their starting quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, who is below 55% on the season.
For Rutgers to pull off an upset, it has to start with their signal caller making the right passes.
