USC football receives low grades following performance against Louisiana

USC recorded a win against Louisiana on Saturday night but drew critical assessments for a disjointed team effort. The Trojans appeared unfocused compared to their previous victory over Fresno State, leading to multiple position groups receiving low marks. Quarterback Jayden Maiava played despite a visible shoulder injury, raising concerns about his readiness for upcoming games. Defensive units and special teams struggled with consistency, allowing 30 points throughout the contest. Coaching staff faced criticism for the limited usage of reserve players and the decision to keep Maiava on the field. The team prepares for a matchup against Rutgers before facing Oregon in two weeks.
