Quinten Joyner - Plays larger role Week 14Joyner totaled 10 carries for 83 yards and hauled in one of two targets for 13 yards during Saturday's 49-35 loss versus Notre Dame.
ImpactJoyner took over in the backfield after RB1 Woody Marks was forced out with a head injury relatively early in the game. The redshirt freshman didn't get a ton of runs as the Trojans somewhat abandoned the running game in the second half, allowing quarterback Jayden Maiava to throw a season-high 48 passes. Joyner wasn't a significant contributor throughout the regular season, as he totaled just 63 carries for an impressive 478 yards for three touchdowns across 12 appearances. But, he should step up as RB1 if Joyner is forced to miss whatever bowl game that the Trojans compete in this postseason.

Makai Lemon - Pops again in Week 14 lossLemon gathered in nine of 10 targets for 133 yards during Saturday's 49-35 defeat to Notre Dame.
ImpactLemon led the Trojans' receiving corps across the board and he logged career-highs in both catches and targets. This was due in some part to quarterback Jayden Maiava throwing a season-high 48 passes. But, the 5-foot-11 sophomore still caught all but one of his targets despite having Maiava complete just 56.2 percent of his passes. This also marked Lemon's second 100-yard receiving game of the year, and he finished the 2024 regular season with 46 catches (on 62 targets) for 665 yards and three touchdowns. He'll look to play a significant role during whichever bowl game USC participates in this postseason.

Ja'Kobi Lane - Scores three TDs in lossLane logged three receptions (on four targets) for 26 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 49-35 loss against Notre Dame.
ImpactLane pulled off the rare trick of scoring touchdowns on all three of his catches Saturday. The 6-foot-4 sophomore has been a physical mismatch for most corners and defensive backs this season, and this continued with three scores from within the 12-yard line. Two of these scores came during the fourth quarter, including quarterback Jayden Maiava's third and final touchdown with just 13 seconds remaining. Lane finishes the 2024 regular season with nine touchdowns on just 36 catches (on 63 targets) for 398 yards across 12 appearances. He'll look to keep making plays in the red zone during USC's upcoming bowl game, though it's currently unclear which postseason contest the Trojans will compete in.

Jayden Maiava - Slings it around in Week 14 lossMaiava was 27-for-48 passing for 360 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 49-35 loss versus Notre Dame. He also had five rushes for 11 yards with two touc...
ImpactMaiava had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in his third start of the season. The redshirt sophomore was still inefficient and played rather erratically while throwing a season-high 48 passes. This was on full display when he tossed back-to-back pick-sixes on the goal line during the fourth quarter, including one that was returned 99 yards and another that was returned 100 yards for Notre Dame touchdowns. Maiava moved the ball back down the field and threw his third passing touchdowns of the game when he hit wideout Ja'Kobi Lane for an eight-yard score with 13 seconds remaining. The signal-caller kept the Trojans in it for most of the game, but he ultimately cost the team a chance to win with these two crucial mistakes. Maiava completed 60.2 percent of his passes for 840 yards while scoring touchdowns 10 total touchdowns and committing four turnovers over the final three games of the regular season. He will likely remain under center for USC's upcoming bowl game.
