One of the best games in Week One of the college football season came Sunday Night from Las Vegas. The USC Trojans downed the LSU Tigers in the game 27-20. Much of the excitement in the game came from USC quarterback Miller Moss. For that, he was named the Big Ten Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

Moss finished the game with 378 passing yards on 27 of 36 passing. He threw for a touchdown in the game. That touchdown came to Ja’Kobi Lane to start the fourth quarter. That touchdown put the Trojans ahead 20-17 at the time.

Following an LSU field goal, Moss anchored a final drive, which ended in a Woody Marks touchdown from 13 yards out on the ground to win the game.

Moss, a 22-year-old from Santa Monica California was the Holiday Bowl offensive MVP a season ago. He played in two games in 2021 and was the backup for Caleb Williams the last two seasons. Before coming to USC, he went to Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills.

The USC Trojans are at home on Saturday, as they will host the Aggies of Utah State. USC will start their Big Ten Conference slate on September 21st, as they are on the road at Michigan.
