USC’s second touchdown, a 12-yard Maiva throw to Kyron Hudson, went through the fingertips of Nebraska defensive back Malcolm Hartzog. The Trojans’ final scoring march stayed on track after Maiava’s third-down throw to Makai Lemon pinballed through the air between the receiver and Nebraska linebacker Javin Wright.

The search for bowl eligibility for the Nebraska Cornhuskers continues. NU fell at USC 28-20 Saturday. The Huskers are now 5-5 on the year and 2-5 in Big Ten play. The Trojans improve to 5-5 and are now 3-5 in the league.

But it wasn’t all smooth. He tossed an interception on the Trojans’ second possession that Ceyair Wright returned 45 yards for a touchdown, putting USC in an immediate hole. And he fumbled the ball away late in the third quarter, leading to the touchdown that brought Nebraska within a point.
