8 hours ago Sep 12, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Southern California Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava (14) throws the ball against the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in the first half at United Airlines Field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images By Kirby Lee, IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans are riding high after three consecutive weeks of high-powered offensive play. Quarterback Jayden Maiava is making a strong case for the Heisman Trophy after a five touchdown performance against Louisiana a week ago.
Riley has to be pleased with the fact that his star passer hasn't been sacked at all in the last two games, which has given Maiava plenty of time to find his weapons downfield. That could very well be the case again today against a struggling Rutgers squad.
