The Trojans earned their most significant win of the season, a rainy victory on Halloween night over the Buckeyes.

USC shocks No. 2 Ohio state to keep CFP hopes alive

In a surprising upset, the USC Trojans defeated the No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes 30-18 in an intense game on Halloween night at the Coliseum. Head coach Lincoln Riley, who faced criticism regarding his job security following a poor performance against Wisconsin, remained confident in his team's ability to rise to the occasion.

The Trojans displayed an incredible level of focus throughout the game, never trailing for a single moment. Freshman running back King Miller and running back Waymond Jordan led the way with their strong performances, establishing a promising run game and contributing crucial touchdowns. Wide receiver Trent Mosley, who had a standout performance, accounted for 170 of the Trojans' 280 total yards.

The USC defense also played a key role in stifling Ohio State's offense, forcing turnovers and executing key stops. With this victory, the Trojans' slim hopes for a College Football Playoff spot were given a much-needed boost.
