USC has not had a 1,000 yard rusher since Ronald Jones did it back in 2017 when he rumbled his way to 1,550 yards. Jones later became a second round pick in the 2018 NFL draft when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected the former Trojan with the No.

Maiava, in his first start at USC, threw a pick-six to Nebraska corner and former Trojan Ceyair Wright. Maiava did some good things on Saturday. There are some plays he’ll want back, too, like the interception and a third-quarter fumble.

Things are going from bad to worse to downright ugly when it comes to Lincoln Riley's tenure leading the USC Trojans. At 4-5 on the season, hardly anyone showed up to see USC host Nebraska in a gotta-have-it game for both Big Ten schools.
