The Coliseum crowd booed Southern California off the field at halftime Saturday after the Trojans committed three turnovers, struggled for defensive stops against Wisconsin, and generally played like a team that wasn't ready for the Big Ten.

Although they couldn't argue with their fans' feelings, the Trojans are already very good at halftime adjustments - and they had plenty of time to rally for a landmark win.

Miller Moss threw two of his three touchdown passes to Ja’Kobi Lane, and No. 13 USC roared back from an 11-point halftime deficit for a 38-21 victory over Wisconsin in the Trojans' first Big Ten home game.

One week after narrowly losing its Big Ten debut at Michigan despite erasing a double-digit deficit in the second half, USC again struggled early. The Trojans then outscored Wisconsin 28-0 in the second half of their school's first Big Ten victory.

Lane set career highs with 10 receptions for 105 yards, while Duce Robinson scored the Trojans' go-ahead touchdown with 1:28 left in the third quarter on another sharp throw from Moss, who passed for 308 yards.

Moss was evaluated for a concussion after he hit the ground awkwardly while rushing for a 7-yard touchdown on a fourth-down keeper with 8:22 to play, but he stayed in. USC linebacker Mason Cobb then returned an interception 55 yards for a TD with 5:04 to play to seal it.

“That's going to be our identity as a team for the rest of the year,” Cobb said. “We just keep swinging. Keep swinging until the clock runs out.”
