QB Jake Jensen to be USC's backup quarterback for bowl game

QB Jake Jensen to be USC's backup quarterback for bowl game

With two of USC's three scholarship quarterbacks entering the transfer portal, it remained a question who would backup starter Jayden Maiava when the Trojans play Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 27. Coach Lincoln Riley confirmed Thursday that Jake Jensen, who has been the Trojans' third-stringer, will remain with the team through the bowl game despite being in the portal. Jensen has played just four snaps for USC over the last three seasons, since arriving as a JUCO transfer, and has not attempted a pass.
