Purdue alum Raheem Mostert reveals which West Coast team he would have wanted to face in expanded Big Ten
FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman joins Colin Cowherd to discuss USC post-Caleb Williams and whether Lincoln Riley is under pressure to get things right for the Trojans in their first year with the Big Ten.
The Big Ten added four more big programs to its conference this year.
USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon will all be first-time Big Ten schools in 2024, making for a flurry of cross-country football showdowns.
Former Purdue Boilermakers running back and current Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert told Fox News Digital that this new conference alignment has caused him to have thoughts about opponents he may have had if he were to play in it now. Mostert originally played four seasons at Purdue from 2011-14.
"It would have put a lot of different spotlights on," Mostert said. "Being able to have the opportunity to play there in Oregon would have definitely been fun."

Mostert also highlighted how Oregon's partnership with Nike, and its famed collection of alternate uniforms, would have brought an intense fashion spotlight to any game he played in Eugene.
"That's a major color, especially with what they do up there with Nike," he said.
