Trinidad Chambliss impresses as USC opens Big Ten play with win over Rutgers
Summary

In Week 3 of college football, Trinidad Chambliss shined for his team, throwing for 363 yards and two touchdowns in their victory. USC, however, struggled defensively against a Rutgers squad that amassed 460 total yards in a game that was closer than expected. Despite a win, USC's performance raises concerns ahead of a challenging schedule with five ranked opponents coming up. Meanwhile, North Dakota State started strong at 4-0 and could make a run for the College Football Playoff after recent NCAA changes. Louisville’s victory over SMU positions them favorably for future accolades, especially if Ole Miss continues to perform well, having secured an earlier win against them.
