USC’s Lincoln Riley records signature road win by silencing largest-ever Penn State crowd

USC’s Lincoln Riley secured a commanding 31-23 victory over Penn State in Happy Valley, marking a pivotal road win for the Trojans. The game featured standout performances from quarterback Jayden Maiava, who completed 21 of 33 passes for 301 yards and three touchdowns, while wide receiver Trent Mosley delivered a breakout effort with 111 receiving yards and a touchdown on nine receptions.

The win came despite a controversial onside kick attempt early in the second half, and it pushed USC to a 6-1 record while dropping Penn State to 3-3. The match also set a new attendance record at Beaver Stadium, with 114,419 fans—including a sea of white jerseys—witnessing the historic loss for the Nittany Lions, who now fall to 13-10 in white-out games.

Riley’s team looks poised to challenge for Big Ten dominance as they head into a critical stretch of their schedule, following a week off before their next road test at Wisconsin.
