USC will enter newfound territory this season. The Trojans, like the Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies, and the UCLA Bruins will be in the Big Ten Conference. Southern Cal made their intentions known that they planned to exit the Pac-12 last year.
Moss has played three seasons with the Trojans. In that time, he’s gone 66 for 92, good for a completion percentage of 71.7 percent. Moss has thrown for 914 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception. He’s shown a lot of promise under center, and USC hopes that he can put the Trojans over the top.
USC of course will have to replace the great Caleb Williams. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner left Southern Cal for the NFL this offseason, as the Chicago Bears selected him first overall. Replacing a player of the caliber of Williams isn’t easy, but Riley and the Trojans will hope that Moss can bring them success.
