Offensive stats and analytics:
-USC had three backup linemen playing their first truly significant snaps as RT Tobias Raymond and C Kilian O'Connor made their first starts and LT Justin Tauanuu got thrust into action after just a few plays when Elijah Paige was injured (he was in a walking boot after the game).
Here's how the linemen fared:
LT Justin Tauanuu: 2 pressures, 0 sacks, 0 penalties, 55.5 PFF grade, 44.5 pass-blocking grade, 58.7 run-blocking
LG Emmanuel Pregnon: 0 pressures, 0 penalties, 65.8 PFF grade, 77. pass-blocking, 62.8 run-blocking
C Kilian O'Connor: 1 pressure (1 QB hit), 0 sacks, 0 penalties, 67.5 PFF grade, 66.7 pass-blocking, 65.5 run-blocking
RG Alani Noa: 1 pressure, 0 sacks, 0 penalties, 74.2 PFF grade, 56.9 pass-blocking, 78.7 run-blocking
RT Tobias Raymond: 3 pressures, 0 sacks, 0 penalties, 54.8 PFF grade, 38.0 pass-blocking, 61.0 run-blocking
-QB Jayden Maiava was all over the place, completing 22 of 39 passes for 295 yards, 4 TDs and 3 INTs -- season-highs for both TDs and INTs. Looking at the advanced stats, he was just 1 of 8 for 28 yards and 2 INTs on passes that traveled at least 20 air yards. From 0-19 yards, he was 14 of 20 for 203 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INT. He did not fare well under pressure, completing just 4 of 11 passes for 80 yards and an INT in such situations. PFF credited him with zero "big-time throws" -- which it defines as a pass with excellent ball location and timing, generally thrown further down the field and/or into a tighter window.
-USC had no dropped passes. Here was the target distribution:
Makai Lemon: 10 (6 catches for 99 yards)
Ja'Kobi Lane: 9 (7 catches for 127 yards, 3 TDs)
Kyle Ford: 9 (6 catches for 59 yards, TD)
A'Marion Peterson: 3 (2 catches for 13 yards)
Lake McRee: 3 (0 catches)
Jay Fair: 1 (0 catches)
Lane had 80 yards after the catch (11.4 per reception). Lemon had the deepest average depth of target (15.2 yards).
-Bryan Jackson (16 carries for 66 yards, TD) had 44 yards after contact and created 1 missed tackle. A'Marion Peterson (12 carries for 43 yards) had 26 yards after contact and 1 missed tackle created. Peterson had a long run of 14 yards while Jackson's longest was 12.
