On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's, Ryan Abraham and intern India Otto are back in studio talking about USC's matchup with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. This will be the first game away from the friendly confines of the Coliseum as well as the first conference game for the Trojans. It is another huge point spread, with USC favored by 23.5 points against a struggling RU squad that already lost to UMass at home and Boston College on the road.Ryan and India breakdown what they know about Rutgers and what sort of threat this Scarlet Knights program could pose on the Trojans. Lincoln Riley is looking to make a run to the College Football Playoffs and that starts with win No. 1 in Big Ten conference play. This game is a real opportunity for the Trojans, not only to get that first conference win but also showing that this team is capable of playing well on the road, even against an undermanned foe.USC will be without one of its most promising playmakers, with freshmen wide receiver and punt returner Trent Mosley out with a knee injury, opening up an opportunity for Tanook Hines, Terrell Anderson or one of other freshmen wide receivers to step up and shine.This is the podcast version (audio only) of our Tunnel Vision episode.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.
