USC Trojans quarterback Miller Moss was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, following a standout performance in a 27-20 win over the LSU Tigers.

Moss completed 27 of 36 passes for 378 yards and a touchdown against the Tigers. And he was at his best when it mattered most. The quarterback found wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane on a 28-yard scoring strike with 5:44 left in the game. He then led the Trojans on an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to seal the win with just eight seconds remaining.

On his final two drives of the game, with the Trojans down 17-13 and then tied 20-20, Moss went 7-for-8 for 97 yards and a score. His final pass, a perfectly-placed throw down the sideline between two defenders to Kyron Hudson, put the Trojans in position to win it in regulation.

The win on Sunday was the first ever for USC as a Big Ten team and this marks the first weekly Big Ten award for a Trojan.

Moss has now thrown for 372 yards and 378 yards in his first two starts. And according to USC, Moss is the first Trojan starting quarterback to debut with back-to-back wins over ranked teams since records available in 1971.
