USC (3-4) hosts Rutgers (4-3) as they both look to end a three-game losing streak. After starting the year 4-0 against weaker opponents Rutgers has looked horrible, losing to Nebraska 7-14, Wisconsin 7-42, and UCLA 32-35. As for USC all of their losses have been close and if they could hold onto a lead they would be 7-1. USC has faced much better opponents than Rutgers and overall is a much more talented team that will come out on top in this one. Both teams' defenses are much better against the pass than on the ground with Rutgers allowing 170.3 rushing yards per game and USC 138.1. I expect Rutgers to have a tough time moving the ball as they will be behind in this one, forcing them to lean on their passing attack which has been awful this year, as they average 0.7 fewer yards per game on the ground, 190.3, as they do in the air, 191. Expect USC to get ahead in this one and lean on their rushing attack against Rutgers to snap their three-game losing streak.
