USC Eliminated from Pac-12 Championship Contention After Loss to Oregon

Injury-Plagued Defense and Recent Losing Streak Highlight Challenges for Trojans

USC's loss to Oregon on Saturday has officially eliminated them from contention for the Pac-12 championship game, marking a low point in the team's season.
USC's defense was significantly hindered by injuries, with key players such as Eric Gentry, Jaylin Smith, Ceyair Wright, and Jacobe Covington all absent from the game.
Despite the team's struggles, USC quarterback Caleb Williams managed to complete 19 of 34 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown.
USC's loss to Oregon marks their fourth loss in the past five games, a stark contrast to their initial six-game winning streak at the start of the season.
USC's final game of the season will be against UCLA, with nothing more than pride on the line.
