Jayden Maiava, Southern California, Player News

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
