Indiana Hoosiers boost College Football Playoff hopes with 27-13 win over USC Trojans
- On Saturday, Indiana defeated USC 27-13 at Memorial Stadium, keeping the Hoosiers' College Football Playoff hopes alive in a critical Big Ten matchup. The victory improves Indiana to 9-1 and 6-1 in conference play.
- Starting quarterback Grant Wilson, replacing Josh Hoover, threw two touchdowns to propel the Hoosiers, while Indiana's defense forced three interceptions from Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava. The defensive pressure proved decisive in the second half.
- Despite Maiava throwing for 311 yards and finding freshman Trent Mosley nine times for 130 yards, USC scored only one touchdown in five red-zone trips. The offensive inefficiency in critical moments proved costly.
- The loss effectively eliminates USC from College Football Playoff contention, while coach Lincoln Riley's record against ranked road opponents fell to 1-8 during his five years at the program. The Trojans drop to 7-3 on the season.
- Indiana moves to 9-1 and will travel to Seattle on Nov. 21 to face Washington, keeping their Big Ten Championship Game and College Football Playoff aspirations alive. The Hoosiers have won three straight since their earlier loss to Ohio State.
