⚔️ ONE BIG THING

The Trojans, for the second week in a row, went into The Coliseum and took care of business. The 100-year celebration of football inside USC’s infamous stadium resulted in the second win of the season for the Trojans.

No. 6 USC spread the ball around with seven different touchdown scorers on the day, and one additional six-pointer thanks to a strip sack from Soloman Byrd and the scoop-and-score from Ta’ufo’ou Stanley.

Caleb Williams continued to build his 2023 Heisman campaign with a five touchdown performance through just three quarters. Williams flashed the arm talent, but also showed his mobility and escapability with one of the plays of the Trojan’s season thus far.

The game was capped off with a 71-yard pitch and catch from backup QB Miller Moss to Duce Robinson to put the Trojans to 668 offensive yards - the most in the Lincoln Riley era. The 66 points USC put on the board also tied record points put up by the Trojans under Coach Riley.

Notable Numbers

  • Caleb Williams: 18-24, 319 yards, 5 TDs // 3 rushes, 50 yards

  • Tahj Washington: 3 rec, 75 yards, 2 TDs

  • Jaylin Smith: 6 total tackles, 2.5 TFLs

  • Soloman Byrd: 4 total tackles, 1 sack, 1 FF

Next up, No. 6 USC faces off against Stanford to try to improve to 3-0 on the season.
