*The 2024 college football season kicked off with a bang on Sunday night in Las Vegas as the No. 23 USC Trojans edged past No. 13 LSU with a thrilling 27-20 win. As the clock wound down, Trojans running back Woody Marks sealed the game with a decisive 13-yard go-ahead touchdown run, showcasing the resilience and skill that has become synonymous with USC football.
From the get-go, fans were treated to a back-and-forth encounter filled with breath-taking moments in the passing game. However, it was Marks’ second touchdown of the night that made all the difference, allowing the Trojans to snatch victory in an otherwise tightly contested match.
The excitement of the season kick-off was palpable, and shining bright under the lights was USC wideout Kyron Hudson. The redshirt junior stole the spotlight with a remarkable one-handed catch that left the LSU defenders stunned and fans buzzing with enthusiasm. His grab has already been hailed as one of the season’s best, despite being just the opening weekend.
Early in the game, the Trojans set a positive tone, but the second quarter proved challenging for their new starting quarterback, Miller Moss. Under pressure from LSU’s defense, Moss launched a prayer downfield—a move that could have skewed the momentum. Yet Hudson, expertly navigating the chaos, soared above two LSU defenders to snare the ball, demonstrating both skill and poise.
Upon hitting the ground, there was concern over whether Hudson had bobbled the ball. However, replay confirmed his catch was clean—a standout 24-yard reception that ignited cheers among the Trojans’ faithful. The catch encapsulated the Trojans’ high-flying offense and displayed Hudson’s potential as a rising star for USC.
As the final minutes of the game ticked away, LSU was not ready to concede. With eight seconds left on the clock, Garrett Nussmeier aimed for a comeback, but a crucial mistake saw his pass intercepted by USC linebacker Mason Cobb, solidifying the Trojans’ victory, reports CBS Sports.
Moss delivered an impressive 378-yard aerial performance, outshining Nussmeier and ensuring the Trojans extended their remarkable streak to eight consecutive season-opening wins. As the Trojans look ahead, it’s clear the combination of a strong running game, explosive receiving options, and a resilient defense has set them up for a promising 2024 season.
On the flip side, the LSU Tigers are facing mounting pressure after suffering their fifth consecutive loss in season openers since 2020. With an overall record of 1-5 against AP Top 25 opponents in recent years, LSU will need to regroup quickly and refocus if they are to turn their season around.
As the Trojans bask in the glow of victory, they remain a formidable force in college football, and fans can expect more thrilling moments as the season unfolds. For now, Kyron Hudson’s electrifying catch and Woody Marks’ game-winning run will be etched in the memories of those who witnessed this breathtaking opener.
