USC Trojans quarterback Miller Moss found himself constantly being picked up off the turf in Ann Arbor. The defensive front of the Michigan Wolverines gave the Trojans offensive line a quick introduction to the Big Ten conference.

USC showed some toughness, but the Trojans will need to play clean football the rest of the way if they hope to achieve their goals.

No. 18 Michigan inflicted a pair of significant blows in the first half against No. 11 USC on Saturday, taking a 14-3 lead into the break behind stingy defense and explosiveness in its run game. Kalel Mullings busted a 53-yard touchdown run on the Wolverines' third possession to open the scoring after the teams traded early punts.
