USC continues their undefeated streak after securing their second victory this season against Nevada. Their star QB delivered a spectacular performance, throwing five touchdown passes, including two caught by Tahj Washington. His remarkable display was so extraordinary that, with a comfortable 42-7 lead, he retired 2 minutes and 12 seconds before the end of the third quarter. One of the most awe-inspiring moments of the game was when receiver Dorian Singer skillfully caught a 30-yard pass, expertly flicked by Williams just before tiptoeing the sidelines.
