LOS ANGELES — After an underwhelming season opener, the USC Trojans finally played like a team with playoff hopes on Saturday, overwhelming Nevada in a 66-14 win at the Coliseum. Including backup Miller Moss’ seven completions on 10 passes, 14 different USC players caught a pass and six scored touchdowns, led by two from Tahj Washington. The redshirt senior scooped the ball after freshman Braylan Shelby sacked Nevada quarterback Brendon Lewis and trotted into the end zone. Showing much-needed depth on defense, the Trojans overcame the loss of three inside linebackers to hold Nevada (0-1) to just 49 rushing yards on 38 carries. After working through a nagging training camp injury that cost him his starting role, Lee led the team with nine tackles and one sack.
