USC quarterback Miller Moss was injured with 8:22 left in the fourth quarter on Saturday against the Wisconsin Badgers. Moss made a beautiful spin move and juke on a critical fourth down conversion, diving his way into the end zone. But as he landed, he hit his head on the turf at the Coliseum.

Shortly after the play happened and USC was up 31-21, CBS sideline reporter Jenny Dell said that Moss was being evaluated for a concussion in the medical tent.

Here’s the video of the play where Moss dove into the end zone.

The Wisconsin defensive line certainly made Miller Moss earn it on Saturday, but he put another 300-yard performance on the books. The Trojans were seen warming up backup quarterback Jayden Maiava on the sidelines, shortly after he dove into the end zone on his touchdown run. But they decided to bring Moss back in the game with less than seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Moss finished with another excellent performance. He certainly earned it, dodging Wisconsin defenders in the pocket for much of the day on Saturday. Their defensive unit hurried Moss more than 14 times, forcing him to step up in the pocket to elude several Wisconsin players harassing him off the edge. Moss finished completing 30 of his 45 passes for 308 yards, while tossing in three touchdowns and an interception.

Their defense has allowed just 17 points through four games so far, much improved from the past few years.

In the second half, USC is now outscoring their opponents by a total of 87-23.
