First Quarter


The opening quarter saw the Cornhuskers take an early lead with a touchdown that set the tone for a competitive match. The Trojans' defense struggled initially but managed to hold off further scoring from Nebraska.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, USC began to find their rhythm. Jayden Maiava led the charge with his passing game despite facing pressure from Nebraska's defense which resulted in three sacks against him. However, he managed to connect on key passes including a notable 43-yard completion to Jaden Richardson that set up scoring opportunities.


Third Quarter


The third quarter was pivotal for SC as they turned up their offensive intensity. King Miller showcased his rushing prowess by contributing significantly with 129 yards and one touchdown on the ground. His efforts were complemented by Jayden Maiava’s rushing touchdown which helped USC gain momentum and take control of the game.


Fourth Quarter


As tensions rose in the final quarter, Anthony Lucas made crucial defensive plays including one sack and forced fumble recovery by Kameryn Crawford that thwarted Nebraska's attempts to regain control. Ryon Sayeri’s reliable kicking added two field goals ensuring SC maintained their lead until time expired.


With this victory under their belt, USC Trojans post-match stats reflect strong performances across both offense and defense despite some challenges faced during passing plays where they completed only nine out of twenty-three attempts resulting in one interception.
