""Awesome, awesome win," said Riley. "Tough, tough response by our football team. ... I thought we attacked it ... dominated the football game on all sides ... gritty, tough performance.""
""I would imagine a lot of people would say that's what it used to feel like around here in the Coliseum," Riley said. "That was an epic atmosphere, the place was just on fire ... you could just feel the impact of our crowd ... you could feel the energy.""
"And, for goodness sakes, who is this King Miller? He's a third-string running back who actually pays to attend class with his million-dollar teammates, a walk-on who stepped in after top running backs Waymond Jordan and Eli Sanders were injured and rumbled for 158 yards and a touchdown."
USC defeated 15th-ranked Michigan 31-13 at the Coliseum, outgaining the Wolverines 489-316 and rushing for 115 more yards. The Trojans produced their first signature Big Ten win since joining the conference, using physical, gritty play to dominate on offense and control the game. A raucous Coliseum crowd amplified USC's performance and energized the team. Third-string walk-on King Miller stepped in after injuries to top backs and rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown. Lincoln Riley praised the team's toughness and balanced performance, and the victory pushes USC closer to College Football Playoff contention.
