USC: The Trojans bookended an otherwise disappointing season with wins over SEC teams in Las Vegas. USC beat LSU in Week 1 to start the season at Allegiant Stadium and ended it Friday night with a 35-31 win over Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl.

QB Jayden Maiava threw three interceptions but hit Kyle Ford with eight seconds left for the game-winning score after Marcel Reed gave Texas A&M a three-point lead with 1:49 to go.
