In the Big Ten, even teams with lesser talent still have more talent than the best teams in some conferences in college football. There will be no layup games for USC this season. The Trojans game vs Rutgers is a game they will need to take care of business in, but the Scarlet Knights will be returning some serious talent on offense this season.

>In a recent article, Brad Crawford provides insight into a very overlooked talented receiver in K. J. Duff. Here is what he had to say about Duff.

>"If Duff were playing at a school inside the top 25, he would already be a well-known name at this point. Duff brings a security blanket presence, elevating the Scarlet Knights' passing game and giving Rutgers a legitimate No. 1 target. His ability to high-point the football and finish through contact makes him a constant mismatch on the perimeter. Duff dominated last season despite defenses in the Big Ten knowing Rutgers' offense runs through him on passing downs."

>Duff is a very underrated player in college football, and he could make the Trojans' secondary pay in Week 4. The Scarlet Knights may not be as complete a team as the Oregon Ducks, but they should be the exact tune-up opponent the Trojans need. Duff will get the Trojans secondary ready for the Ducks' playmakers.
