On Friday night, USC football defeated Texas A&M 35-31 in an exciting Las Vegas Bowl. We wrote about how the game bookended the season in a familiar way:
“The Trojans concluded the 2024 season in the same place that they opened it, against an opponent from the same conference. Both times, they scored the game-winning touchdown with exactly 8 seconds left on the clock to prevail in thrilling fashion.
“What happened in the 11 games in between the Trojans defeating LSU in the season opener and taking down Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl Friday night was a complete different story. USC finished the 2024 season a disappointing 7-6, including a 4-5 mark in Big Ten play. They consistently struggled to close out games, having led in the fourth quarter of five of their six losses. But under the bright lights of Vegas, the Trojans were at their best. USC bookended its 2024 season with a result stunningly similar to the seaon opener.”
Following the game, numerous former, current, and future USC football players took to social media to discuss the game. Here is what some of them had to say:
