Indiana vs. USC Player Prop Best Bets
Trent Mosley Anytime TD (+175)
Trent Mosley is one of the most talented players in the country. The freshman has been one of the breakout stars of this college football season. He unfortunately missed several games due to injury, but when he’s been on the field, he is absolutely electric. Mosley has over 100 receiving yards in four of his six games played. He has also scored six touchdowns, failing to score in only one of his six games played.
The Indiana defense is a tough matchup, but Mosley just went for 101 yards and a touchdown against a great Ohio State defense last week. Earlier this season, he caught nine balls for 111 yards and a touchdown on the road at Penn State. He has seemingly risen to the occasion in USC’s most important games. Mosley is a deep-ball threat and can also be used in gadget plays in the red zone. He even has two rushing attempts this season.
This is a career-defining game for Lincoln Riley. If he can go on the road and beat the Hoosiers, it will be one of the biggest wins of his career. He should break everything out of his play-calling bag to try to beat this great Indiana defense. That should involve getting the ball to Mosley whenever possible, by any means possible. He has a great chance to score his seventh touchdown in his seventh game played this season.
Charlie Becker 90+ Receiving Yards (-109)
Charlie Becker is one of the best receivers in the country this season. He ranks 11th in the nation in receiving yards and seventh in receiving touchdowns. There is some concern over the health of Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover. However, backup quarterback Grant Wilson played well in relief last time out against Minnesota. If Wilson is forced to take the field this week, Becker should still be able to produce.
Becker had eight catches for 149 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota. That includes a 25-yard game-winning touchdown catch in overtime courtesy of Wilson. Becker will be Indiana’s top target, no matter who is at quarterback. The offense should also have success against the USC defense, no matter who is at quarterback. The Trojans rank 110th in the nation in defensive EPA/dropback this season. Any competent passing offense they have faced this season has gotten the better of the USC secondary. Becker has cleared 90 receiving yards in five of his past seven games and should hit that mark against USC as well.
