Minnesota Upsets No. 11 USC 24-17

In a surprising upset, Minnesota defeated No. 11 USC 24-17, marking USC's second consecutive loss in Big Ten road games. The game turned in the fourth quarter when Minnesota quarterback Max Brosmer scored a critical touchdown on a fourth-and-goal play, which was confirmed by video review after an initial ruling had him short. Despite leading 17-10 in the final quarter and having opportunities to extend their lead, USC faltered as quarterback Miller Moss threw two interceptions, including a decisive one in the closing moments. Moss finished with only 200 yards on 23 completions, while Minnesota's Darius Taylor contributed significantly with 200 yards from scrimmage. This victory snapped Minnesota's seven-game losing streak against power conference opponents and sent their fans rushing the field in celebration. USC's struggles raise concerns about their season as they fall to a 3-2 record, with head coach Lincoln Riley's recent performance drawing scrutiny.
