Game Recap: Football | | Associated Press

SAN DIEGO (AP) — With Caleb Williams watching from the sideline, Miller Moss threw a Holiday Bowl-record six touchdown passes in his first college start and USC Football ended a frustrating season by beating No. 16 Louisville 42-28 on Wednesday night.

Moss took full advantage of the opportunity he was given when Williams opted out. Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner and presumptive first overall pick in the NFL draft, watched from the sideline wearing a white T-shirt with his No. 13 jersey hanging around his neck.

Moss was 23 of 33 for 372 yards, with one interception. He broke the Holiday Bowl record of four touchdown passes held by four players, including Jim McMahon in BYU's miracle 46-45 comeback victory over SMU in 1980. The record came late in the third quarter when Moss lobbed a 12-yard pass to a leaping Ja'Kobi Lane in the back of the end zone. Lane's second TD catch of the night gave USC (8-5) a 35-21 lead.

Isaac Guerendo ran 23 times for 161 yards and three touchdowns for Louisville (10-4).

THE TAKEAWAY

Louisville: Plummer injured a finger on his right hand early in the second quarter, but missed only a few plays before returning.

USC: Moss had played in just 11 games in three seasons, going 43 of 59 for 542 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions.

UP NEXT

USC: The Trojans played their final Pac-12 game. They begin play in the Big Ten in 2024. Their season opener will be against LSU in Las Vegas on Sept. 1.
