The play by Hudson ended up being critical in guiding the Trojans to the first score of the game. USC eventually went up 7-0 and Hudson’s catch was a huge play on that drive. The Trojans’ defense has looked impressive early on, making a couple of stops in the first two quarters of play.

After the Trojans scored, LSU quickly marched the ball back down the field and Garrett Nussmeier connected with Kyren Lacy on a beautiful 19-yard touchdown toss. Both offenses started to pick things up in the second quarter. USC went up 10-7 with 4:21 left in the first half after they connected on a field goal from Michael Lantz. Both quarterbacks were playing pretty well in the first half, with some pretty accurate throws from Nussmeier and Miller Moss. LSU tied the score at 10-10 with 1:08 left in the first half, thanks to a field goal from Damian Ramos.

Lantz missed a kick at the end of the first half that could have put USC up 13-10, but missed it to the right. The score at halftime was tied, 10-10.

Before Sunday night, Hudson had 34 catches for 345 yards with five touchdowns in his USC career, and one tackle and one blocked kick on special teams. He played his high school football at famed powerhouse Mater Dei in Santa Ana, California. The Monarchs have one of the nation’s most prestigious football programs. In the 2021 cycle, Hudson was ranked as the No. 296 overall player in the country and a four-star prospect, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
