Jayden Maiva threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to hit tight end Kyle Ford with eight seconds left to give Southern California a 35-31 victory over Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl on Sunday night.
A graduate of Liberty High School in nearby Henderson and a transfer from UNLV, Maiva helped the Trojans (7-6) overcome a 17-point deficit.
After Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed raced 19 yards for a touchdown with 1:49 remaining to regain the lead, Maiva drove Southern California 75 yards in 10 plays for the winning score.
