Game Recap
The USC Trojans rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit to defeat the Wisconsin Badgers 38-21 in their historic first Big Ten home game. Initially, turnovers plagued the Trojans, contributing to a 21-10 halftime disadvantage. However, after the break, USC showcased unparalleled resolve, outdoing the Badgers with a 28-0 run, highlighting Miller Moss's offensive leadership with 308 passing yards and three touchdowns. Ja'Kobi Lane's exceptional play, including two crucial TD receptions, and Mason Cobb's game-sealing pick-six punctuated the Trojans' dominance.
Wisconsin had initially capitalized on USC's mistakes, evident in Vinny Anthony's electrifying 63-yard touchdown—the longest for the Badgers in years—and Tawee Walker's dual rushing touchdowns. Despite early successes, including leading at halftime, their performance stagnated, particularly as they struggled in adjusting during the second half. The Trojans' defensive prowess and adaptability under Lincoln Riley proved decisive, while the Badgers' miscues amplified their challenges, leading to their second consecutive loss.
