Darreus Rogers of USC gaining confidence with touchdown catches

USC receiver Darreus Rogers has produced highlight-reel plays two weeks in a row.

So the junior might be primed for more in Saturday's Pac-12 Conference title game against Stanford at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.

Rogers has been replaying in his mind the spectacular touchdown he scored against UCLA.

“The catch was nice but the touchdown was better,” he said Tuesday.

Rogers, 6 feet 2 and 200 pounds, leaped for a reception near the five-yard line, then put one hand on the turf and extended his other arm so that the ball crossed the goal line.
