USC hosts Oregon amid significant Big Ten implications

USC faces Oregon at the Coliseum on Saturday, with critical stakes for both teams in the Big Ten and College Football Playoff. The game is expected to showcase high-powered offenses, with quarterbacks Jayden Maiava and Dante Moore anticipated to each throw for over 250 yards and two touchdowns. However, Oregon's defense looks to challenge USC, which recently allowed 35 points in its game against Rutgers. Last year, USC struggled in special teams against Oregon, but kicker Caden Chittenden has been perfect on field goal attempts this season.
