In a remarkable demonstration of perseverance and skill, the USC Trojans overcame a rough start to secure a 38-21 victory against the Wisconsin Badgers, marking their first Big Ten home game triumph. Despite trailing by 11 points at halftime and facing criticism from the home crowd at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the Trojans rallied with strong adjustments, outscoring Wisconsin 28-0 in the second half. Miller Moss threw three touchdown passes, and Ja’Kobi Lane set career highs with 10 receptions for 105 yards. The defense also shone, highlighted by Mason Cobb's 55-yard interception return for a touchdown, sealing the win. Wisconsin's struggles continued as they lost their second straight game. The win keeps USC in favorable standing despite an earlier loss to Michigan.
