  "account": "PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Jayden Maiava achieved a stellar performance for Southern California, completing 277 yards and scoring two touchdowns in the Trojans' 42-35 victory over Rutgers in the Big Ten's first matchup. Backed by King Miller's 102-yard run and touchdown, the Trojans (4-0) established an early 35-21 lead, which they expanded to a 35-28 advantage with just five minutes and 52 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Rutgers managed to close the gap to 35-28, but the teams exchanged touchdowns in the fourth quarter to conclude the game. The USC offense, led by freshman receiver Trent Mosley, displayed immense strength, but the defense must improve to handle the potent offenses of Oregon, Ohio State, and Indiana that the Trojans will face in the future.",
