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.
