USC overcame a boisterous crowd that was the largest in Beaver Stadium history.
In a White Out game at Beaver Stadium, Jayden Maiava led No. 19 USC to a 31-23 victory over Penn State. The Trojans outgained Penn State in total yards, 430 to 357, while junior wide receiver Trent Mosley had a standout performance with nine catches for 111 yards. USC's offense averaged nearly eight yards per play through the first three quarters, outperforming the Nittany Lions' efforts.
The crowd of 114,419, mostly wearing white, was disappointed as Penn State fell short of securing a first-time win against the Trojans under new coach Matt Campbell. The game saw three touchdowns caught by Mosley, Tanook Hines, and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt for USC, along with a touchdown run by King Miller and a field goal from Caden Chittenden.
Despite a comeback attempt by Penn State, Christian Pierce fumbled the ball away from Brett Eskildsen with 3:59 left, sealing the win for USC. This victory marked USC's seventh win in the series against Penn State and improved their record to 7-5 against them. The Trojans will face Wisconsin on October 24th, while Penn State travels to Michigan on the same day.
