Lincoln Riley reached deep into his bag for this one.
Early in the second quarter of No. 21 USC's matchup against No. 23 Illinois at Gies Memorial Stadium, the Trojans dialed up one of the more creative trick plays you'll see. Facing a second-and-17 and trailing by a touchdown, the Trojans split quarterback Jayden Maiava out wide in the wildcat formation. Waymond Jordan and Eli Sanders ran the zone read, and the junior running back kept the ball and sprinted to his right. Jordan flipped the ball to Maiava, who slung the ball deep to a wide-open Makai Lemon.
