USC football quarterbacks Miller Moss and Jayden Maiava overshadowed by dominant defense in 2024 spring game.
For the first time in the Lincoln Riley era at USC , the Trojans are getting ready for a season without Caleb Williams at quarterback. On a day when Miller Moss and Jayden Maiava had the opportunity to step in, the defense stole the show from the two passers. The defense rolled to five picks, while Moss and Maiava were unable to find consistency throughout the entirety of the game.
When Moss next took over at quarterback two drives later, he immediately threw an interception to Marcelles Williams while attempting to throw into double coverage. After the game, Riley called this the"one bad decision" Moss made on the day. Moss would throw another interception later in the game, but it came on a deflected pass that Prophet Brown secured and took to the house. He also scored a touchdown, hitting Bryan Jackson on a three-yard pass.
Alongside Moss, Maiava got to play in his first game-time action for the Trojans. The 2023 Mountain West Freshman of the Year instantly showed his capability as a dual-threat passer, with both his willingness to keep the ball and run as well as throw on the run. Following a couple of completions on his first drive, Maiava was intercepted by Nicholson. He would rebound on his second drive, throwing the first touchdown of the day on an impressive back-shoulder pass to Makai Lemon.
