USC QB Miller Moss trolls LSU following game-sealing interception
USC is rightfully excited after winning their opener in a 27-20 victory over LSU on Sunday.
Miller Moss took his chance to celebrate too in front of several fans in the record crowd at Allegiant Stadium. After the game-winning drive he helped to manufacture before a game-sealing interception by the Tigers, Moss looked to the crowd and waved while also throwing down a hand signal of an L.
Moss earned the opportunity to gloat after how the final quarter went for him and the Trojans.

In the fourth quarter, USC got the lead back after a 28-yard passing score from their new starting quarterback to Ja’Kobi Lane off a free play after an offsides call that they obviously declined.
Then, after the Tigers tied it at 20 with under two minutes to play, Moss led an eight-play drive where he completed five of his six pass attempts. That set up a go-ahead touchdown rush by Woody Marks with less than 10 seconds left.
LSU did have one final chance once they got the ball back. However, Garrett Nussmeier threw the sealing interception in the first play after that prompted the USC celebration to begin.

In the end, Moss went 27-36 (75%) for 378 yards and the one scoring throw.
Moss had himself a night in his full-time starting debut in Sin City. He soaked it in too with these taunts of those who may have doubted him or the Trojans tonight against the Tigers.
Moss fires back at critics: ‘We don’t pay attention to any questions anyone asks’
Miller Moss wasn’t concerned with any of the talk and it showed on Sunday.
Moss had a message postgame to anyone who is still skeptical about him or USC.
“We don’t pay attention to any questions anyone asks,” he told ESPN’s Holly Rowe. “They can keep asking them. We’re gonna keep preparing and keep knocking down these wins.”
“Two minutes is something that we practice all the time,” he said. “Those are the type of situations that Coach Riley always talks about wins and loses games. We thought we put a pretty good drive together at the end of the half, so we had some comfortability in that situation. We just had to go execute and I think we did a good job of doing that.”
The Trojans are back in action on Saturday against Utah State.
“It’s hard to put into words,” Moss said. “I’m just really happy for our team. The identity that we tried to create really showed today and I couldn’t be more proud of the guys.”
