USC’s second touchdown, a 12-yard Maiva throw to Kyron Hudson, went through the fingertips of Nebraska defensive back Malcolm Hartzog. The Trojans’ final scoring march stayed on track after Maiava’s third-down throw to Makai Lemon pinballed through the air between the receiver and Nebraska linebacker Javin Wright.

USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley met with the media following his team's 28-20 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Huskers fall to 5-5 overall and 2-5 in the Big Ten Conference. The Trojans improve to 5-5 and 3-5 in the league.

Before their meeting with Nebraska, the USC football team had a health scare that nearly kept Woody Marks from playing in the game.
