About This Game
Southern California struck first. Early in the first quarter, Jayden Maiava found Trent Mosley for a 69-yard touchdown, and the Trojans quickly moved ahead. Ohio State answered with a Connor Hawkins field goal, but Waymond Jordan's 9-yard touchdown run gave USC a 14-3 lead after one quarter.
The Buckeyes kept moving the ball. They finished with 1,264 total yards over 24 drives, but that yardage kept turning into field goals rather than touchdowns. Each time Ohio State closed the gap, USC answered. Ryon Sayeri and Caden Chittenden added field goals, and King Miller's 1-yard run made it 27-9 early in the third quarter.
Ohio State finally found the end zone in the fourth quarter when Jeremiah Smith caught a 1-yard pass from Luke Fahey. The two-point try failed, leaving the score at 27-18. Chittenden's 32-yard field goal with 1:46 left secured the 30-18 win at the Coliseum.
