The only things you can guarantee in life are death, taxes, and Trent Mosley having a big game when he is healthy. There has not been a game this season where he was playing at full strength and was not one of the best players on the field. Against the Indiana Hoosiers, the freshman put on another show.
It was a tough game for the Trojans to fumble and a loss that kills USC’s hopes for a College Football Playoff berth. However, my MVP award in the USC Trojans‘ loss goes to Trent Mosley. The Indiana Hoosiers‘ defense was stifling, as advertised. Yet they still could not bottle up Mosley. It felt like the key to success against the Hoosiers’ defense was getting the ball to Mosley.

Against an elite secondary, Trent Mosley put up 9 catches for 130 yards, and an average of 14.4 yards per catch. When Jayden Maiva was in trouble, or the offense needed a spark, the Trojans looked to Mosley. That has been the story all season long, especially the last two weeks. He did not disappoint, and he single-handedly elevated the Trojans’ chances to steal this game.
The Trojans were up against the defending national champions, and Mosley still goes for over 100 yards. Had he not missed a decent amount of time, he would be up there with some of the top receivers in the country in production. A special season like this comes in his freshman season. He has a chance to be just as special, if not more, than the recent great USC receivers. The most important aspect of that is that he is doing it in the big games. His future could not be more exciting.
