USC answered the bell in Happy Valley, delivering a much-needed 31-23 victory over Penn State in front of a record 114,419 fans at the White Out. Shane Foley and Chris Arledge break down how the Trojans showed poise, discipline and toughness when it mattered most, including Jayden Maiava’s continued development, the emergence of USC’s young talent and a critical late defensive takeaway. We’ll examine the improved running game, a dramatic reduction in penalties and the defensive concerns that remain, particularly Penn State’s five fourth-down conversions. At 6-1 heading into the bye, USC has plenty to build on and everything still to play for.
