LOS ANGELES (AP) — Miller Moss threw two of his three touchdown passes to Ja’Kobi Lane, and No. 13 Southern California rallied from an 11-point deficit in the second half for a 38-21 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday in the Trojans' first Big Ten home game. One week after narrowly losing its Big Ten debut at Michigan , USC trailed 21-10 at halftime and received a few boos from its home crowd after committing three turnovers in the first half.
The Trojans (3-1, 1-1) responded superbly, outscoring Wisconsin 28-0 in the second half of their school's first Big Ten victory. Lane caught 10 passes for 105 yards, while Duce Robinson scored the Trojans' go-ahead touchdown with 1:28 left in the third quarter on another sharp throw from Moss, who passed for 308 yards. Moss was evaluated for a concussion after he hit the ground awkwardly while rushing for a 7-yard touchdown on a fourth-down keeper with 8:22 to play, but he stayed in.
USC linebacker Mason Cobb then returned an interception 55 yards for a TD with 5:04 to play to seal it. Vinny Anthony caught an early 63-yard TD pass from Braedyn Locke for the Badgers (2-2, 0-1), who have lost two straight. Tawee Walker rushed for two touchdowns, but Wisconsin faded badly in the second half of its first game at the Coliseum since 1966.
The Badgers have lost 13 of their last 15 games against ranked teams, going 0-4 under coach Luke Fickell. Locke went 13 of 26 for 180 yards in his first start of the season after Tyler Van Dyke tore a kn.
