Rutgers football tonight will play Southern California for the first time in its program history, and the Scarlet Knights and the Trojans will both be looking to snap three-game losing streaks.

Rutgers has been hit hard by injuries, but Greg Schiano's team has a chance to end its skid while also making a big statement out at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Jason Benetti will be on play-by-play alongside analyst Brock Huard with Allison Williams reporting from the sidelines.

Chris Carlin will be on play-by-play with analysts Mike Teel and Eric LeGrand with Anthony Fucilli reporting from the sidelines.

USC is a 14-point favorite according to Action Network as of Oct. 24.

Prediction: I think Rutgers' will give itself a chance, but the ongoing injuries have really limited this team right now. It would be hard for any team to overcome, let alone the Scarlet Knights, whose depth is solid but still relatively young and inexperienced. This feels like the type of game where it's close into the second half before the Trojans make a big offensive play and take control of the game late. USC 31, Rutgers 21
