Jayden Maiava passed for 349 yards and threw two of his three touchdown passes to freshman Trent Mosley, and No. 14 Southern California rolled to a 39-0 victory over Fresno State on Friday night. Tanook Hines also had a TD reception, and freshman Kayden Dixon-Wyatt had six catches for 102 yards as the Trojans (2-0) followed up their Week 0 win over San Jose State by comprehensively dominating the Bulldogs (0-1). USC's defense gave an impressive effort under new coordinator Gary Patterson, allowing just 116 yards - a paltry 49 through three quarters - while recording two safeties and forcing two turnovers.Maiava went 23 of 25 while playing just one series after halftime. Mosley, his new favorite target after a 118-yard debut last week, caught a 6 8-yard TD pass early and added a 10-yard scoring catch shortly before halftime, finishing with four catches for 104 yards. Jayden Mandal passed for 77 yards in his second career start for the Bulldogs, who last beat USC in 1992. Fresno State couldn't com pete in its first game against a ranked opponent under head coach Matt Entz, the former USC assistant who took over the Bulldogs last season. Hines' TD catch capped USC's opening drive, and Mosley romped to his long TD after getting wide open down the mi ddle. USC's defense added its first safety when a blitzing Kennedy Urlacher got to Mandal. After Mosley's second TD catch, Urlacher forced a fumble by Mandal. Waymond Jordan rushed for a TD and a 30-0 halftime lead. - AP College Football

Jayden Maiava passed for 286 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score, and No. 14 Southern California opened a season of high expectations with a 42-26 victory over San Jose State on Saturday. Trent Mosley caught seven passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Orange County product's dynamic debut for the Trojans, who showcased several promising newcomers in coach Lincoln Riley's offense. Kayden Dixon-Wyatt also caught a TD pass in his debut, while Riley Wormley and Shahn Alston rushed for t heir first TDs. New USC defensive coordinator Gary Patterson's unit mostly looked sharp while the Trojans built a 35-3 lead heading into the fourth quarter, but new San Jose State quarterback Luke Weaver led three late touchdown drives against USC's back up defenders to tighten up the final score considerably.USC has College Football Playoff aspirations with a restocked roster around Maiava, who went 25 for 29 as the Trojans won their opener at the Coliseum despite being without several expected k ey contributors due to apparent injuries. Star defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart and presumptive starting receivers Tanook Hines and NC State transfer Terrell Anderson were the biggest absences. Hawaii transfer Weaver passed for 234 yards and threw fourth -quarter TD passes to Jerry McClure and Jordan Anderson before rushing for a late score. The Spartans' thoroughly overhauled roster will get a boost from its strong finish to head coach Ken Niumatalolo's third-season opener. Maiava began his third season as the Trojans' starting quarterback by rushing for a score on the opening drive. Dixon-Wyatt caught a short scoring slant in the second quarter, and 2025 breakout star King Miller rushed for a TD and a 28-0 lead right before halftime. - AP College Foot ball

Jayden Maiava and the Southern California offense appeared to be rolling to another comfortable victory when a scary injury for Michigan State and a series of big mistakes by the Trojans tightened up their late-night meeting once again. The No. 25 Trojan s shook it all off and comfortably finished off the biggest challenge yet to their unbeaten start. Maiava threw three touchdown passes and rushed for two more scores, and Makai Lemon made a 40-yard TD catch and ran for another score in USC's 45-31 victor y on Saturday night. Maiava passed for 236 yards, Waymond Jordan rushed for 157 yards and Lemon had 127 yards receiving in a fourth straight comfortable victory for USC (4-0, 2-0 Big Ten), which is off to its best start since coach Lincoln Riley's first season in 2022.Tanook Hines and Walker Lyons also caught TD passes as the Trojans surged away near halftime and capably handled a late rally by the Spartans (3-1, 0-1) to win the new conference rivals' first meeting since 1990. "That was a game th at had some unique twists and turns," Riley said. "I thought we were controlling the game, (and then) obviously we had a couple of errors there in the third quarter with the penalties...and the turnover that allowed them to come back and capture some mom entum. But I thought our team responded and separated back in a really good way. A lot to learn from. A lot that's got to continue to get better, but if you're learning lessons as you win, it's hard not to be excited." Long Beach native Aidan Chiles thre w three touchdown passes and rushed for another score for the Spartans, who fell short of only their second 4-0 start in the past decade. Chiles accounted for 243 of the Spartans' 333 total yards. While USC's offense marched up and down the field and did n't punt until the final minute, the defense made repeated mistakes in coverage and in discipline, accounting for most of the Trojans' 10 penalties. - USC/AP College Football

Jayden Maiava and Waymond Jordan each had touchdown runs Saturday, and 360-pound defensive tackle Jamaal Jarrett rambled 70 yards on an interception return for a socre to to lead Southern California past Purdue 33-17 after kickoff was delayed for 3 hours , 5 minutes because of weather. The Trojans (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) got their first win in the Eastern time zone since September 2012 at Syracuse, ending a nine-game skid - albeit with an unexpected 6:45 p.m. EDT start that coach Lincoln Riley joked at halfti me was more like West Coast time. "I think this year we have a little chip on our shoulder when it comes to road games,” said receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, who had three catches for 115 yards. "We know what kind of mindset we have to have in the fourth quarte r and it's not to settle.” Maiava finished 17 of 28 with 282 yards on a day the highest-scoring team in the Football Bowl Subdivision was held to a season-low point total. Jordan ran 18 times for 77 yards. Eli Sanders had 10 carries for 75 yards.Purdue (2-1, 0-1) lost for the first time under new coach Barry Odom, who coached Maiava two years ago at UNLV. Ryan Browne was 24 of 39 with 305 yards, one TD and three interceptions while scoring the first rushing TD against the Trojans this season on a 34-yard run when he scooped up an errant, bouncing lateral and scooted down the sideline. USC took at 10-0 lead on Maiava's 3-yard TD run to open the second quarter and extended the margin to 17-3 on Jordan's 6-yard run late in the first half. The Tro jans started the second half with two field goals, then got Jarrett's to make it 30-10 late in the third quarter. Purdue couldn't recover. "A good team and you've got to step into the ring and into the arena and be ready for them to swing,” Odom said. "And we kept swinging, so we'll learn from today in a lot of different ways.” - USC/AP College Football
