What is at stake?

The theme of 11th-ranked USC’s entry into Big Ten play so far has been slow starts and quick finishes. The Trojans trailed 21-10 in the third quarter at Michigan, lost 27-24 on Sept. 21 and lost 21-10 at halftime to Wisconsin last week before jumping out to a four-touchdown lead in the second half to a 38-21 win. The Gophers lost last week to the 10th-ranked Wolverines by the same score as USC. Their fourth-quarter momentum was thwarted by a questionable offside penalty on what would have been a successful onside kick recovery in Michigan territory with 1:37 left.

Key match

USC QB Miller Moss vs. Minnesota pass defense. Moss had his second 300-yard passing game of the season for the Trojans last week against Wisconsin, hitting nine different receivers. The Gophers, under first-year defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, have played remarkably well on defense, aside from a shaky second half against Iowa on Sept. 21 that was dominated by Big Ten leader Kaleb Johnson. The Gophers are tied for the lead in the Big Ten with eight interceptions as well.

Players to watch

USC: WR Ja’Kobi Lane. The sophomore had 10 catches for 105 yards, both career highs, and two touchdowns against Wisconsin last week. His second goal came in the third quarter on a third-and-goal, which brought the Trojans within 21:17.

Minnesota: DB/PR Koi Perich. The true freshman from Esko, a small town in northern Minnesota, was the most heralded member of this year’s recruiting class. Perich worked as a backup safety on defense and quickly developed into an impact player on special teams, with two punt returns at Michigan totaling 82 yards.
