USC making major change for game against Nebraska

Moss has decent numbers this season with 2,555 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions across nine games. The results, however, have not been good for USC since their impressive early-season wins over LSU, Utah State and Wisconsin.

USC has blown multiple second-half leads in games they should have won. They are 2-5 in conference play, which is not what they envisioned for their first season in the Big Ten. Moss had a strong message for his doubters after a game last month, but the Trojans have continued to fall short of expectations.

Maiava, a redshirt sophomore, had 3,085 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions at UNLV last season. He surprised many people when he committed to USC, especially since Moss was already locked in as USC’s starter. Maiava will now get an opportunity to prove himself sooner than many expected.
