USC's Jayden Maiava Revitalizes Trojans with Win Over Nebraska

The new quarterback's debut performance provides hope for USC's struggling season and Lincoln Riley's uncertain future.

Jayden Maiava led USC to a 28-20 victory against Nebraska, showcasing both promise and challenges in his first start.
Maiava's performance included three touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown, countering an early pick-six and a fumble.
The Trojans need to win at least one of their remaining games against UCLA or Notre Dame to secure a bowl bid and stabilize their season.
Lincoln Riley's future at USC is under scrutiny, with another poor season potentially jeopardizing his position despite a hefty buyout clause.
Running back Woody Marks played a crucial role, contributing 146 rushing yards and providing a steady presence alongside the new quarterback.
