## Resource

USC’s defense delivered a historic shutout against Fresno State, blanking them 39-0 with freshman Trent Mosley leading the charge and the unit not allowing a single first down in the third quarter. Quarterback Jayden Maiava matched his elite accuracy with a near-perfect 23-of-25 passing day for 349 yards and three touchdowns, while the running game struggled but didn’t need to carry the load. Two safeties added to the defensive fireworks, thanks to smart blitzes and standout plays by Kennedy Urlacher and Alex Graham. With offense and defense firing on all cylinders, USC is poised for a strong season — but can they sustain this level of dominance?
