"That's how much USC gained during its 59-20 victory over Georgia Southern on Saturday. One-hundred thirty-two points are a lot of points. (Carlin Stiehl/Los Angeles Times) That's how much USC has scored in its two games this season, including its blowout victory over Missouri State the week before. If you want to believe the Trojans are better than they were in their previous two seasons, there are developments that could further convince you that you're right."
"The only indisputable truth to emerge was that Trojans receivers Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane would be serious problems for every one of their opponents. Everything else remained up for debate. When you watched the Trojans trample over former Clay Helton's Eagles at the Coliseum, were you encouraged by how quarterback Jayden Maiava threw for 412 yards or concerned how badly he misfired on some of the handful of passes he didn't complete?"
USC gained 755 yards in a 59-20 win over Georgia Southern and has scored 132 points across two games. Receivers Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane have emerged as major threats. Quarterback Jayden Maiava threw for 412 yards but had several errant throws. Running back Waymond Jordan rushed for 167 yards and showed agility but lost a fumble on the opening drive. USC converted every red zone trip yet committed multiple illegal-use-of-hands penalties on defense. Coach Lincoln Riley praised the offense while warning that mistakes could doom the team against stronger opponents. Former coach Clay Helton noted clear improvement from last season.
