No. 18 USC rallies past Washington 25-21 with Stewart’s fumble return TD, more big defensive plays
Jahkeem Stewart's 48-yard fumble return set up the go-ahead touchdown for No. 18 Southern California, which ultimately defeated Washington 25-21 on Saturday night. The Trojans (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) overcame a 21-10 deficit in the second half, fueled by defensive plays and key offensive contributions. Jayden Maiava threw for 245 yards and two scores, while Demond Williams Jr. passed for 198 yards and led Washington's late drive.
Despite Washington's effort, Kameryn Crawford's sack of Williams on third down ended the Huskies' scoring opportunity with 39 seconds left. USC's defense stepped up late in the third quarter, shutting down the Huskies' rally and allowing them to secure the win.
