Big Ten will continue to review illegal USC fake punt play

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Big Ten Conference confirmed a jersey violation by Southern California’s backup quarterback in Friday’s game against Northwestern and said Sunday that the situation will continue to be reviewed.

On a punt play in the second quarter, backup quarterback Sam Huard was in kick formation wearing the No. 80 jersey of punter Sam Johnson, who already had punted twice in the game. Huard threw a pass out of the formation to give USC a first down in an eventual 38-17 victory.

Despite the number confusion, the official statistics of the game show Huard, who normally wears No. 7, completing a 10-yard pass in the game.

According to the Big Ten, the number swap violated “NCAA Football Playing Rule 9, Section 2, Article 2,” under the label of “Unfair Tactics.” Paragraph D stated: “Two players playing the same position may not wear the same number during the game.”

Had game officials recognized the number swap, a 15-yard penalty would have been assessed for “unsportsmanlike conduct.” Instead of fourth-and-6, the Trojans would have been facing a fourth-and-21 play.

“The Big Ten will continue to review the situation with both institutions,” the Big Ten said in a statement.

Jayden Maiava accounts for 3 TDs as No. 19 USC tops Northwestern

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Jayden Maiava passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, Makai Lemon added two scores and No. 19 Southern California overwhelmed Northwestern in the second half en route to a 38-17 win on Friday in Los Angeles.

The Trojans (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) scored on each of their first three possessions in the second half, with their only drive after intermission that did not produce points ending in a kneel-down. In the process, USC surpassed Northwestern’s previous season high of 34 points allowed.

Maiava rebounded from his worst statistical game of the season, a 135-yard effort on Nov. 1 against Nebraska, by producing 299 yards on 24-of-33 passing. He set the tone on USC’s opening drive, a 16-play, 82-yard possession that consumed 7:14 and culminated in Maiava’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Lemon.

Lemon reached the end zone again early in the fourth quarter. USC’s offensive line misdirected the Northwestern defense toward the short side of the field when Maiava made a quick pitch to Lemon.

The junior wide receiver carried the ball for an untouched, 4-yard touchdown, punctuating a career night. He had 11 receptions for a personal-best 161 yards.

Lemon’s two scores bookended the touchdown-scoring on a night that saw Northwestern (5-4, 3-3) keep pace early with the prolific Trojans. The Wildcats scored on drives of 13 and seven plays, each going 75 yards, to stay knotted with USC at 14-14 in the second quarter.

Preston Stone threw a 4-yard touchdown to Griffin Wilde, and Caleb Komolafe capped Northwestern’s second scoring drive with a 2-yard carry midway through the second quarter. Komolafe’s score was the last time the Wildcats found the end zone, thanks in part to a fumble forced by Maiava.

The USC quarterback threw an interception, picked off by Najee Story, in Trojans territory late in the second quarter. Maiava recovered to chase the Wildcats lineman down and delivered a diving shoulder tackle as Story leapt toward the pylon, jarring the ball loose to prevent a score.

Stone finished 20 of 30 for 150 yards. Komolafe rushed for 118 yards on 17 carries.

King Miller led USC with 127 rushing yards on 15 attempts, and he scored on a 12-yard carry with 1:23 to go before halftime. Earlier in the quarter, Maiava had a 6-yard scoring run.

No. 19 USC eager to reignite offense vs. Northwestern

Posted on | by Field Level Media

No. 19 Southern California will begin its closing four-game stretch of the season in the thick of both the Big Ten Conference championship and College Football Playoff races.

The Trojans will face another stout defense in Northwestern on Friday night in Los Angeles.

Southern California (6-2, 4-1) will return home for the first time since a 31-13 win over then-No. 15 Michigan on Oct. 11, bookending its Oct. 25 bye with a 34-24 loss at rival Notre Dame and a 21-17 victory at Nebraska last Saturday.

The grind-it-out defeat of the Cornhuskers helped land the Trojans at their position in the first playoff rankings of the season.

Northwestern (5-3, 3-2) will visit the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the first time since 1969 in the program’s first matchup with Southern California since the 1996 Rose Bowl Game. No Wildcats squad has ever beaten the Trojans, going 0-5 in a series that started in 1952.

This season’s Wildcats come in off of a bye week, having last played on Oct. 25 against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers snapped Northwestern’s four-game winning streak in a 28-21 decision in Lincoln, Neb.

The 28 points the Wildcats allowed were almost the team’s high for the season, save a 34-14 setback to Oregon on Sept. 13. Northwestern allowed just 42 points combined in wins over UCLA, Louisiana-Monroe, Penn State and a shutout of Purdue between the two losses.

The Wildcats are allowing an average of just 16.8 points per game this season, which is the 13th fewest in the nation.

The Trojans’ output dipped to 39.8 points per game after the win over Nebraska, still good for eighth-most nationally. Quarterback Jayden Maiava remains ranked in the top 10 of the FBS for average passing yardage with 289.4 per contest.

With Nebraska limiting Maiava to season lows of nine completions on 23 attempts and 135 yards, Southern Cal leaned on its run game, which Northwestern coach David Braun highlighted as an element that makes the Trojans dangerous.

“With the style of offense they play, it can be easy to fall into thinking they’re passing the ball all over the place. That’s not the case,” Braun said. “They’re very balanced. They’re running the ball very effectively. … Scary operation.”

With Waymond Jordan and Eli Sanders both sidelined due to injuries, King Miller stepped up for 129 yards on 18 carries. He has exceeded 100 yards in two of the Trojans’ last three outings, also rushing for 158 yards against Michigan.

Southern California’s ground game is among the most effective in college football, averaging 5.8 yards per carry — ninth-most in the nation.

Northwestern will counter with a front seven, and specifically a linebacker group, that Trojans coach Lincoln Riley called a “really smart group” when discussing the Wildcats defense following practice on Tuesday.

“Tough and physical,” he said. “You can tell they communicate really well (because) you don’t see a lot of busts. …They don’t give up a lot of big plays.”

No. 23 Southern California scores last to avoid upset at Nebraska

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Behind King Miller’s 129 rushing yards and fourth-quarter touchdown, No. 23 Southern California overcame a sluggish offensive start to rally past Nebraska 21-17 on Saturday night in Lincoln, Neb.

USC (6-2, 4-1 Big Ten Conference), which came into Saturday’s matchup with the fifth-most prolific offense in FBS at 42.4 points per game, did not reach the end zone until late in the third quarter against Nebraska (6-3, 3-3).

Wearing special black uniforms, the Cornhuskers played a game reminiscent of the program’s famed Blackshirt defenses of yesteryear. Nebraska held USC quarterback Jayden Maiava to 9-of-23 passing for 135 yards without a touchdown.

Andrew Marshall came away with an interception of Maiava.

But while the Trojans’ quarterback struggled much of the way, he came through in a pivotal spot with a 43-yard completion to Jaden Richardson on a flea flicker in the fourth quarter. That big play set up the drive that culminated in Miller’s 6-yard touchdown carry, giving USC a 21-17 lead with 10:06 left in regulation.

Maiava also carried for a touchdown of 16 yards late in the third quarter. Miller tacked on a successful two-point conversion to erase what had been a 14-6 Nebraska lead.

The Cornhuskers scored touchdowns on a pair of 75-yard drives in the first half, capped on a 14-yard pass from Dylan Raiola to Dane Key and Emmett Johnson’s 10-yard rush.

The Trojans’ defense was otherwise as feisty as Nebraska’s, forcing the Cornhuskers into four punts and a missed field-goal attempt on the night.

Compounding Nebraska’s offensive woes was the third quarter departure of Raiola. Facing pressure from linebacker Eric Gentry, Raiola stepped out of the blitzing Trojan’s reach only to be taken down on the blind side by defensive end Anthony Lucas.

Raiola appeared to twist his leg and was taken out, with freshman TJ Lateef coming in. Lateef went 5-of-7 passing but finished with just 7 yards through the air.

The sophomore Raiola was 10-of-15 for 91 yards at the time of his injury.

Johnson rushed for 165 yards on 29 carries to buoy the Nebraska offense as much as possible, but on fourth-and-1 at the Cornhuskers’ 27 on the final drive, he slipped in the backfield and failed to convert.

No. 23 USC puts potent passing game on line vs. Nebraska

Posted on | by Field Level Media

No. 23 Southern California will carry its high-powered offense into Saturday night’s game against Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb.

The contrast of styles will shape a crucial matchup for two teams looking to stay in the upper half of the Big Ten race.

Nebraska (6-2, 3-2) avoided falling on the wrong side of .500 in league play when it beat Northwestern 28-21 last week. The victory marked the Cornhuskers’ lowest defensive yield since the team opened the season giving up 24 combined points in the first three games.

“Great secondary, great guys up front,” Southern California quarterback Jayden Maiava said of Nebraska. “I see it as another great opportunity for us and the boys to showcase what we’ve been practicing.”

The Cornhuskers head into this week giving up 19.6 points per game, the 30th-lowest average nationally, but now must contend with the country’s team leader in passing yards (326.1) and total yards (530) per contest.

Souithern California (5-2, 3-1) is averaging 42.4 points per game behind Maiava, whose 311.4 passing yards per game rank third-most in FBS. Wide receiver Makai Lemon is second in the nation with 108.3 receiving yards per game.

Cornhuskers coach Matt Rhule credited the Trojans’ explosive passing game in part to their ability to play physical, run-based offense and throw defenses off-balance.

“You play USC, and they’re going to run power football over here, but if you’re not careful, they’re going to throw over here and make one block, then it’s a 60-yard touchdown,” Rhule said.

To that end, USC has a trio of running backs who have rushed for at least 264 yards — though two are sidelined. Waymond Jordan, the team’s leading rusher at 576 yards and five touchdowns, underwent ankle surgery following a 31-13 win over then-No. 15 Michigan on Oct. 11.

Eli Sanders, who rushed for 264 yards in five games, is out for the season with a knee injury.

Bryan Jackson stepped into Sanders’ change-of-pace role and delivered 35 yards on just five carries with a touchdown in the Trojans’ rout of Michigan. Jackson finished with 22 yards on six carries the following week in a 34-24 loss at Notre Dame on Oct. 18, USC’s lowest-scoring game of the season by seven points.

The Trojans ran for a season-low 68 yards vs. the Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame stifling the run contributed to Maiava having his lowest completion percentage of the season at 52.4. It also marked his third straight contest with at least one pick after going the first four without throwing one.

Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola avoided an interception in the Cornhuskers’ first three games. He threw three — including a pick-six — in an Oct. 11 win over Maryland. Raiola has been picked off six times over Nebraska’s last five games.

“You want to possess the football as much as you can,” Huskers offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen said. “(USC is) obviously really good offensively, and they’re going to have their moments. … But we want to control the ball.”

Jayden Maiava, No. 20 USC brace for No. 13 Notre Dame

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Coach Lincoln Riley and No. 20 Southern California had little time to enjoy their big win over Michigan last week.

That is because the Trojans’ next test might be even tougher.

Southern California (5-1) will look to knock off a ranked opponent for the second week in a row when it faces No. 13 Notre Dame (4-2) on Saturday evening in South Bend, Ind.

Riley said his players could not get comfortable after rolling to a 31-13 win at home over then-No. 15 Michigan. Jayden Maiava passed for 265 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Trojans, and King Miller rushed for 158 yards and a score.

“Now, it’s on to the next,” Riley said. “When you play our schedule, there’s not too much time to celebrate. We know we’ve got another big football game coming up.”

The Trojans will play a Notre Dame squad that has won four straight contests after dropping its first two games of the season. The Fighting Irish allowed 98 points in their first three games combined, but they have allowed only 27 total points in their past three.

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said the key to continued success will be physicality.

“This game’s going to be about velocity,” Freeman said. “I often say, ‘We got to get bloody.’ It’s got to be that type of mindset. This (has) got to be a physical, bloody game that isn’t about, ‘How can we outsmart them?’ This is going to be, ‘How do we outphysical this group, and how do we play with that mindset to win this game?’”

Maiava has passed for 1,852 yards, 13 touchdowns and two interceptions for Southern California. His top target is Makai Lemon, a highly touted NFL prospect who has caught 44 passes for 682 yards and six touchdowns.

Notre Dame is led on offense by CJ Carr, who has passed for 1,622 yards, 13 touchdowns and three interceptions. The Fighting Irish feature a one-two punch in the backfield with Jeremiyah Love (530 rushing yards, eight TDs) and Jadarian Price (422 rushing yards, seven TDs).

This will be the 95th all-time meeting between the programs. Notre Dame leads the series 52-37-5, including a 29-13-2 advantage at home.

The teams met last season, with Notre Dame holding on for a 49-35 win on Nov. 30 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Price (111 rushing yards, 1 TD) and Love (99 rushing yards, 1 TD) led the Fighting Irish, and Lemon caught nine passes for 133 yards for Southern California.

Notre Dame knows it again will be a challenge to stop Lemon. The main reason: Lemon’s versatility in how he can beat a defense.

“You want to play zone, he’ll find a way to find open space,” Freeman said. “If you want to get on-body, what we call it, he can run by you. He can make you miss. He’s quick, he’s fast, he’s got great ball skills. There’s not a simple answer or solution to defending him.”

USC S Kamari Ramsey (food poisoning) sits out vs. Illinois

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Southern California safety Kamari Ramsey missed Saturday’s 34-32 loss to No. 23 Illinois due to a bout with food poisoning.

Ramsey fell sick Friday night in Champaign, Ill., and Trojans coach Lincoln Riley said the staff didn’t know he was ailing until Saturday morning.

Ramsey was not listed on the Big Ten availability report, which was released two hours before kickoff.

Ramsey attempted to go through pregame warm-ups and didn’t play in the first half. He appeared on the sidelines in street clothes in the second half.

Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer took advantage of the No. 21 Trojans being shorthanded in the back end by passing for 328 yards and two touchdowns. Altmyer drove the Illini to David Olano’s winning 41-yard field goal as time expired.

Ramsey is in his second season with USC after transferring from UCLA. He had 60 tackles and one interception last season but has just seven stops in four games this year.

No. 23 Illinois regroups, slips past No. 21 USC 34-32

Posted on | by Field Level Media

David Olano’s 41-yard field goal as time expired helped No. 23-ranked Illinois avoid a late collapse, as the Illini held off No. 21 Southern California 34-32 on Saturday at Champaign, Ill.

The Illini (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) built a two-touchdown lead in the second half behind a strong all-around performance from quarterback Luke Altmyer. He became the first Illinois player to pass, rush and catch for a touchdown in the same game since Kurt Kittner in 1999.

But while Illinois scored on six of its nine possessions, and only punted once, a pair of fumbles at the goal line gave USC (4-1, 2-1) an opportunity to rally after a slow offensive start.

Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava was intercepted for the first time on the season when he was picked off by Dylan Rosiek in the third quarter. USC managed just 17 points for the game’s first 50 minutes after entering with an average of 52.5 points per game.

Maiava regrouped down the stretch, connecting with Makai Lemon on touchdown passes of 19 and 16 yards in the fourth quarter. USC converted a two-point conversion following the first, then took a 32-31 lead with 1:55 remaining on the second Lemon TD.

Maiava’s second scoring pass to Lemon capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive after USC linebacker Eric Gentry forced a fumble from Ca’Lil Valentine, who was breaking toward the end zone on a potential win-sealing Illinois score.

The Illini also coughed up the ball just shy of the end zone in the second quarter on Braylon Conley’s takeaway from Kaden Feagin.

Illinois recovered after conceding the lead, marching into Trojans territory behind Feagin runs of 6, 8 and 9 yards, and an Altmyer carry of 13 yards. Altmyer finished with 28 rushing yards, including 12 on a first-quarter touchdown.

The Illini quarterback also scored on a 3-yard pass reception from Hank Beatty and threw a 25-yard score to Justin Bowick early in the fourth quarter.

Altmyer hooked up with Feagin on a 64-yard touchdown. Feagin walked a tight rope at the sideline to complete the long, third-quarter score that put Illinois ahead 24-10.

Altmyer was 20-of-26 passing for 328 yards. Maiava finished 30 of 43 for 364 yards.

Waymond Jordan carried 20 times for USC, gaining 94 rushing yards and scoring a pair of touchdowns.

Illinois earned its first victory over USC since a 14-13 decision in 1989.

After ugly loss, No. 23 Illinois plots turnaround vs. No. 21 USC

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Illinois coach Bret Bielema hopes to turn the page from a disastrous game, welcoming 21st-ranked Southern California to Champaign, Ill., to face the 23rd-ranked Fighting Illini on Saturday.

“The first thing we have to do is address what we did as coaches,” Bielema said of getting his team back on track after a 63-10 loss to Indiana in a top-20 showdown.

“I thought we had a good football team (before last week) and feel that same way (now). I know that we can rebound.”

Added Illinois defensive coordinator Aaron Henry, according to On3.com, “We lost a football game and it (expletive) sucks — pardon my language — but nobody died. We’re still here. We will bounce back. We’ll be good. I’m going to make sure this defense is locked and loaded on Saturday.”

Illinois (3-1, 0-1 Big Ten) climbed to No. 9 on the strength of winning its first three games by a combined 135-22 margin, but the Illini had no answers for the Hoosiers.

Compounding the lopsided loss that snapped a seven-game winning streak dating back to last November was the news that the Illini will be without All-Big Ten defensive back Xavier Scott for the foreseeable future.

Scott was a scratch from the Indiana contest after sustaining an apparent ankle injury Sept. 13 vs. Western Michigan, and Bielema announced on Monday the standout of the Illinois secondary will be sidelined for “most of the season.”

The absence comes at a bad time, ahead of USC’s first visit to Champaign since 1996. That game ended up as a 55-3 Trojans victory.

USC (4-0, 2-0) brings one of the nation’s sixth-leading passer, Jayden Maiava (1,223 yards), as well as the fourth-most prolific pass-catcher, Makai Lemon (438 receiving yards).

Lemon caught a season-high eight passes for 127 yards, hauling in his third touchdown reception of the year in USC’s 45-31 win last week over Michigan State. He also rushed for a score.

Maiava connected on 20 of 26 passes for 234 yards, his lowest output of 2025. However, he threw for three touchdowns after going without a passing score in USC’s Big Ten-opening win on Sept. 13 at Purdue.

Maiava is averaging 305.8 yards per game, which ranks eighth nationally, and is the only quarterback ranked in the top 15 of that category who has yet to throw an interception.

“(Maiava’s output) is a product of just him being more comfortable with what we’re doing and knowing exactly where his feet are supposed to be on every play,” USC coach Lincoln Riley said.

Along with Lemon, Maiava’s leading weapon in the passing game through the first contests was Ja’Kobi Lane. However, Lane missed last week’s game with an unspecified injury, and his status for Week 5 was unclear even after he practiced on Tuesday.

Like Maiava, Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer has nine touchdown passes without a pick, but Altmyer managed just 146 passing yards at Indiana. The Illini quarterback said following the game that Illinois’ options now were to “feel bad for yourself, or get up and take advantage of the next opportunity.”

Altmyer’s top target has been Hank Beatty, who has 21 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, of wideout Justin Bowick’s eight total receptions, three were TD grabs.

No. 25 USC plans to hold ranking against Big Ten foe Michigan State

Posted on | by Field Level Media

For a demonstration in the geographic peculiarities of the new-look Big Ten Conference, look no further than Saturday’s matchup between Michigan State and No. 25-ranked host Southern California in Los Angeles.

This matchup of unbeaten teams kicks off at 8 p.m. local time, which will peek into Sunday morning back on Michigan State’s campus in East Lansing, Mich., before halftime.

“We’re going to go out Thursday … try to adjust,” Spartans coach Jonathan Smith said. “This is a challenging road environment and a really good team … and that’s not just [for] us.”

Despite an up-and-down debut season in the Big Ten last year, USC (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) proved to be tough at home no matter the kickoff time. The Trojans finished 3-1 in league games at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with the lone loss coming in a 33-30 overtime decision against College Football Playoff participant Penn State.

USC won its first two home games of 2025 over Missouri State and Georgia Southern by margins of 73-13 and 59-20. Opening Big Ten play on the road last week at Purdue, the Trojans overcame a lengthy weather delay to roll past the Boilermakers, 33-17.

Running backs Waymond Jordan and Eli Sanders carried for 77 and 75 yards to complement quarterback Jayden Maiava’s 282 yards passing. Jamaal Jarrett then scored on a 70-yard pick six late in the third quarter to effectively put the game away.

Smith is in his second season leading Michigan State (3-0), a program that has not played a USC team since 1990. Smith is familiar with USC, however, having coached the Trojans former Pac-12 counterpart Oregon State from 2018-23.

USC went 2-1 in three matchups with Smith-coached Beavers teams, including a 17-14 Trojans win in Corvallis, Oregon, in 2022 – the first season that current USC head coach Lincoln Riley was the helm.

Smith led Oregon State to its first win at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum since 1960 with a 45-27 decision in September 2021.

Michigan State finished 5-7 in Smith’s first season leading the Spartans despite a start similar to this year at 3-0. Week 4 marked a stark downturn, beginning with a 23-19 loss in a nighttime kickoff at Boston College.

Michigan State lost six of seven beginning with that contest, with four of the losses by three-touchdown margins or more.

After opening 2025 with wins over Western Michigan, Boston College and Youngstown State, all at home, Smith hopes to see this season’s Spartans learn from the pitfalls of 2024.

“This year, depth wise, I feel like we’ve progressed,” Smith said. “[There were] learning experiences from every game last year, just like there were learning experiences from the first three games [this season].”

How much lesson can be gleaned from their respective first three games will be revealed on Saturday. In the meantime, quarterbacks Maiavia and Michigan State’s Aiden Chiles have put up some similar passing numbers thus far.

Both have thrown for six touchdowns. Chiles has completed 58-of-81 pass attempts (71.6 percent) and Maiavia has completed 48-of-70 (68.6 percent).

“He’s a returning guy they recruited for that system,” Riley said of Chiles.

Maiavia has thrown for 333 yards more than Chiles, a sum almost equaling Trojans leading receiver Makai Lemon’s 311-yard production.
