Overview

  • USC rolled up 489 yards, including 224 rushing, and controlled the line of scrimmage with three sacks while allowing none in the Coliseum win.
  • With top backs unavailable, redshirt freshman walk-on King Miller ran for 158 yards and a touchdown after Waymond Jordan exited with an ankle injury.
  • Jordan’s ankle is expected to cost him multiple games pending further testing, according to reporting by Matt Zenitz, marking a key developing injury for USC.
  • Michigan fell to 4-2 as coach Sherrone Moore cited poor tackling and execution; he said RB Justice Haynes had a side issue and likely could have returned as a precautionary decision.
  • USC is 5-1, 3-1 in the Big Ten, and up to No. 20 in the AP poll, while Michigan dropped out; next up are USC at Notre Dame and Michigan hosting Washington.
