USC Hosts Oregon in Big Ten Showdown Saturday Night on NBC

The unbeaten Trojans meet the Ducks at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a Week 4 matchup with Big Ten and College Football Playoff implications.

USC brings a 4-0 record into Saturday's home game against Oregon, kicking off at 7:30 PM ET on NBC from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The matchup carries weight in both the Big Ten standings and the College Football Playoff race.

Oregon enters at 2-1 after an 84-0 rout of Portland State last week, a bounce-back from a 39-31 road loss at Oklahoma State. Quarterback Dante Moore and the Oregon offense rolled against Portland State after struggling to find rhythm in the Oklahoma State defeat.

USC has been unbeaten but not untested, having been pushed by Rutgers earlier this season. Quarterback Jayden Maiava has completed about 76% of his passes for nearly 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns, ranking among the national leaders in completion percentage, yards, and scores.

Oregon has won the last four meetings between the programs, including a 42-27 victory last season and the 2020 Pac-12 Championship Game. After this week, USC faces a demanding stretch with Washington, Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Indiana ahead.
