The USC Trojans, so close to winning another program-shifting game, fell to the Michigan Wolverines by the score of 27-24 after being stopped on fourth down, attempting to get into field goal range. The Trojans fall to 2-1 on the season, 1-1 against ranked opponents, and 0-1 in the Big Ten.Michigan defensive linemen Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant warm up before the start of the game against Fresno State at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024. / Kimberly P.
USC’s defensive backs played well overall and made some very nice tackles in space, however, it’s hard to make those plays consistently when the offense is continually leaning on you with extra bodies. The defensive line, particularly the interior, will have to improve as the Trojans continue Big Ten play.
The Trojans showed heart in the second half. A switch along the offensive line moving Mason Murphy to left tackle and Tobias Raymond to right tackle helped steady the offense. A 12-play, 75-yard touchdown drive showed the unit's resilience. The story, once again, is not the score. It’s not the fact that they found themselves in a position to win, a clear difference in mentality, discipline, effort, and capitalization. After a demoralizing first half on both sides, the Trojans responded to the highest order in a way we haven’t seen in the Lincoln Riley era.
