Miller Moss named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week
USC Trojans quarterback Miller Moss was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, following a standout performance in a 27-20 win over the LSU Tigers.
Moss completed 27 of 36 passes for 378 yards and a touchdown against the Tigers. And he was at his best when it mattered most. The quarterback found wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane on a 28-yard scoring strike with 5:44 left in the game. He then led the Trojans on an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to seal the win with just eight seconds remaining.
On his final two drives of the game, with the Trojans down 17-13 and then tied 20-20, Moss went 7-for-8 for 97 yards and a score. His final pass, a perfectly-placed throw down the sideline between two defenders to Kyron Hudson, put the Trojans in position to win it in regulation.
