The USC Trojans flipped to the Big Ten for the 2024 college football season, but that wasn’t the only major change for the program. USC QB Miller Moss became the face of the program for this fall, and the long-term Trojan’s profile showcases why renowned quarterback-whisperer Lincoln Riley believed in him.
When Does Miller Moss and the USC Trojans Play in Week 7?
USC QB Moss and his Trojan teammates are at the very center of one of the greatest weeks of college football that you’ll ever see. USC plays host to the Penn State Nittany Lions in a pivotal all-Big Ten encounter that starts at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 12.
Although the game’s kickoff coincides with the Red River Rivalry and the Stanford vs. Notre Dame matchup, the unranked Trojans looking to hand the fourth-ranked Nittany Lions makes this game much-watch television on Saturday afternoon.
USC QB Miller Moss Stats, Height, Weight, Profile Details
2024 marks the season as a starter for USC QB Moss, and as such, he’s already put up career-high marks across numerous standard quarterback metrics. Moss’ full stats breakdown, up to and including Week 6 of the 2024 season, are below:

For his career, USC QB Moss has thrown for 2,312 yards and 18 touchdowns, completing 66.8% of his pass attempts. The Trojans passer has converted 6.2% of his career passes into a touchdown, with just 1.7% resulting in an interception. Meanwhile, he has a career average of 7.9 yards per attempt.
Miller Moss 247, High School Recruiting Profile
While he has waited patiently for his opportunity to become the USC QB, Moss was a heavily recruited high school quarterback who could have easily found the field more quickly at any other program. Coming out of Bishop Alemany in Mission Hills, CA, he was viewed as a four-star quarterback and ranked as the 112th overall player in the 2021 recruiting class.

Moss held over 20 offers to play college football after finishing his high school career with 2020 PrepStar Dream Team honors. He was also named the Los Angeles Daily News Offensive Player of the Year as a junior in 2019. Amongst offers from powerhouses like Alabama and Georgia, Moss’ academic excellence also saw him accrue offers from Harvard and Yale.
Who Does Moss’ Play Compare To?
Coming out of high school, USC QB Moss earned a comparison to Drew Brees. As a tough pocket passer with high football intelligence and decent arm strength, that comparison holds true — especially given that the Trojans’ passer is likely a little shorter than his listed 6’2″.
When Did Miller Moss Take Over For Caleb Williams At USC?
Moss officially took over from Caleb Williams for the 2024 college football season. Following the former Heisman Trophy winner’s decision to declare for the 2024 NFL Draft and subsequent selection as the first overall pick by the Chicago Bears, Moss entered a spring camp battle with incoming transfer Jayden Maiava, who arrived at USC after starring at UNLV.

However, Moss was essentially handed the keys to the Trojans offense earlier than that. With Williams heading to the NFL, he opted out of USC’s bowl game — the Holiday Bowl against Louisville — with Moss taking over starting duties for the Trojans. The USC QB threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns in a 42-28 win over the 15th-ranked Cardinals.

Where Is Miller Moss Being Selected In 2025 NFL Mock Drafts?
In a 2025 NFL Draft class that includes the likes of Carson Beck, Shedeur Sanders, and Cam Ward, there has been a lot of variance in the projections for USC QB Moss. The Trojans passer earned first-round capital in some early 2025 NFL Mock Drafts, notably being selected by the New York Giants by CBS analyst Chris Trapasso in consecutive September mocks.
As is the nature of mock drafts, early first-round consideration came after an impressive performance to open the season against LSU. However, as the season has progressed Moss’ stock appears to have settled in the late Day 2-early Day 3 range.
