Jayden Maiava

ANALYSIS
Maiava made his first start for the Trojans after replacing previous starter Miller Moss earlier this week. The UNLV transfer got out to a shaky beginning with two completions on his first seven passing attempts and throwing a pick-six on an off-target throw. He then completed nine straight passes and went on to throw touchdown passes of six, 12 and 48 yards, and he capped off his outing with a two-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Maiava also lost a fumble on a scramble attempt in the second half, but his first start of the year was still a net-positive for the offense. He'll look to match this strong outing during next Saturday's road game against cross-town rival UCLA.
