Key Stanford players to watch in USC’s first conference game of the season.

USC’s road test at the farm will likely be its greatest test this season outside of the Notre Dame game late in the season. Here are Stanford’s players to watch; stopping and limiting the impact of these players will define USC’s greatest conference challenge this year.

KJ Costello is a polarizing figure. On one hand, his physical profile is similar to a slimmer Josh Allen (6-foot-6 and 220 pounds to Josh Allen’s 6-foot-55, 237 pounds). He can lean on a solid run game and has a legitimate number one receiver in JJ Arcega-Whiteside, yet last season he only completed 58.
