USC makes season-ending statement in thrilling Las Vegas Bowl comeback over Texas A&M

LA Times  

USC receiver Kyle Ford said the emotions of an up-and-down career hit him after he caught the game-winning touchdown against Texas A&M during the Las Vegas Bowl Friday night. “I know we’re making progress.” By late December, any signs of that progress had disappeared and confidence in Riley had faded along with it, lost during a frustrating season that ended Friday night right back where it began. We’ve been in a lot of big games.” The Las Vegas Bowl bore a striking resemblance to its bookend back in September, down to the breathtaking finish, as USC once again fought through a fourth-quarter deficit to earn a statement-making win. But sometimes, he needs a pick-me-up here and there.” USC quarterback Jayden Maiava looks to pass under pressure from Texas A&M defensive lineman Cashius Howell during the Las Vegas Bowl on Friday.
