The USC Trojans get their first taste of Big Ten action in Week 3, going against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Rutgers may be having a brutal start to the season, but this team has NFL talent on offense. Antwan Raymond and KJ Duff will not make it a layup game for the USC Trojans' defense.
Rutgers' offense should provide a solid test to the Trojans' defense before one of USC's biggest games of the season against the Oregon Ducks. The Trojans' freshmen will try to shine again, and the Trojans' defense will have to put together a stellar performance to head into their game next week with the right mindset.
