* USC is 4-0 all-time against Nebraska. The two programs last met in the 2014 Holiday Bowl, a 45-42 win for the Steve Sarkisian-led Trojans over Nebraska interim head coach Barney Cotton, who took over when Bo Pelini was fired following a 9-3 regular season.
* USC has lost four of its past five games. Four of the Trojans’ losses this season have come with the opposing team scoring the game-winning points in the final minute of regulation or overtime and all five losses have been in games in which USC has held a fourth-quarter lead.
* Both teams are coming off bye weeks and also making major offensive changes heading into this game. USC made a change at quarterback, calling in former backup Jayden Maiava to run things against Nebraska. Maiava has seen limited action this season but played in 14 games and completed 224-of-353 passes (63.5%) for 3,085 yards and 17 touchdowns against 10 interceptions at UNLV last season.
* Nebraska added former West Virginia and Houston head coach Dana Holgorsen as an offensive analyst during the bye week. Early this week, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule announced that Holgorsen will take over as offensive coordinator and play caller for the Huskers.
* Nebraska starting quarterback Dylan Raiola has been dealing with a back injury he suffered two weeks ago against UCLA. He did not practice during the ‘Huskers bye week and Rhule said this week they will be making sure to get backup quarterbacks Heinrich Haarberg and Daniel Kaelin ready to go for Saturday as well. Raiola is 176-for-272 (64.7%) for 1,921 yards and 10 touchdowns against eight interceptions this season. Haarberg has completed just 10-of-17 passes this season but threw 157 passes and rushed for 477 yards and five scores last season.
