Miller Moss's Struggles Continue

In the loss, Miller Moss struggled to get going in the passing game when the team needed him most. The quarterback ended the day 23 of 38 with 200 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. As the season unwinds, Moss will have to turn his season around quickly if USC has any desire to find themselves back in the AP Top 25.

Woody Marks is a Top RB

Woody Marks was one of the few bright spots for the Trojans during Saturday’s loss. The talented running back rushed 20 times for 134 rushing yards and one touchdown on the day. In addition, the skilled playmaker contributed in the passing game with four receptions for 30 yards.
