LOS ANGELES — Woody Marks ran for three touchdowns, Miller Moss had two scoring passes and a touchdown run, and Southern California snapped a three-game losing streak by beating Rutgers 42-20 on Friday night.
The Trojans (4-4, 2-4 Big Ten), who next face Washington on Nov. 2, scored on all four offensive possessions in the first half, while their injury-depleted defense — missing four starters in the secondary — came up with some timely stops.
“I don’t know if it’s relief as just much affirmation of who we are, what we believe in,” said Moss, who was 20-of-28 passing for 308 yards. “I give a ton of credit to the guys in that locker room, the staff, really the whole program on how they seem to come together and fight through adversity. And, yeah, it’s great to close one out, and hopefully we get on a run here in the back half of the season.”
