The USC Trojans have made a strong comeback as they enter the fourth quarter of their game against Michigan. After a tight third quarter, the Trojans have narrowed the deficit to just one score. Their defense has managed to shut out Michigan in the second half, while Will Moss and the offense have capitalized on this momentum with a successful scoring drive. As the final quarter begins, USC has possession of the ball and trails by three points.
In the first half, the Trojans struggled offensively, amassing only 118 total yards and recording negative 16 yards rushing. Michigan built their lead with two impressive long rushing touchdowns. The question now is whether Moss and the team can turn the momentum in the second half or if Michigan will deliver a stark reminder of the challenges that await USC in the Big Ten.
This matchup marks USC’s entry into Big Ten play against Michigan at the iconic Big House, signaling the start of a new chapter in their historic rivalry.
