Barely one day after he’d officially realized his lifelong dream of being named USC’s starting quarterback, Miller Moss was already ready to put his childhood triumph in the rearview mirror.
“It’s hard in what we do to stop and smell the roses,” Moss said on Tuesday. “I mean, obviously, it was a goal I set for myself a long time ago, and I’m happy I accomplished that. But I don’t think it’s necessarily about that now. It’s about going and winning games.”
USC coach Lincoln Riley made a point Tuesday to note that Moss didn’t run away with the job after entering camp with a significant lead over Nevada Las Vegas transfer Jayden Maiava.
