USC’s second touchdown, a 12-yard Maiva throw to Kyron Hudson, went through the fingertips of Nebraska defensive back Malcolm Hartzog. The Trojans’ final scoring march stayed on track after Maiava’s third-down throw to Makai Lemon pinballed through the air between the receiver and Nebraska linebacker Javin Wright.

Going into the game, I thought USC coach Lincoln Riley’s decision to replace Miller Moss with Jayden Maiava was a desperate move. I felt incredibly comfortable in my prediction after the Huskers went up 7-0 on a Ceyair Wright pick-six.

USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley met with the media following his team's 28-20 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Huskers fall to 5-5 overall and 2-5 in the Big Ten Conference. The Trojans improve to 5-5 and 3-5 in the league.
