The USC Trojans walked into Petco Park and stunned the world without Caleb Williams and plenty of other notable names. They convincingly defeated Louisville in the Holiday Bowl.
Ja’Kobi Lane had a pair of scores, as did Tahj Washington. However, Makai Lemon, who was recently practicing in the secondary, got to play wide receiver again.
Lemon did his thing, catching two passes for 75 yards. He had a highlight-reel play that certainly caught the attention of Lincoln Riley and others.
In the Holiday Bowl, Lemon showed why he could be a huge option in the passing game in 2024 and beyond. Even more impressive is that Lemon had just four catches for 13 yards coming into this game. He took a major step forward.
