USC’s second touchdown, a 12-yard Maiva throw to Kyron Hudson, went through the fingertips of Nebraska defensive back Malcolm Hartzog. The Trojans’ final scoring march stayed on track after Maiava’s third-down throw to Makai Lemon pinballed through the air between the receiver and Nebraska linebacker Javin Wright.

One other way in which USC and Nebraska fans are united in misery this season: Big Ten officiating. Cornhuskers Wire noted how badly the Huskers were shafted on some non-pass interference calls in this game against USC. Trojan fans know the feeling. USC was obviously jobbed on bad non-calls against Michigan and Penn State.

The search for bowl eligibility for the Nebraska Cornhuskers continues. NU fell at USC 28-20 Saturday. The Huskers are now 5-5 on the year and 2-5 in Big Ten play. The Trojans improve to 5-5 and are now 3-5 in the league.
