USC heads into a massive season with huge expectations at quarterback. Is Jayden Maiava the guy who can finally lead the Trojans back into College Football Playoff contention and elevate USC into the upper tier of the Big Ten? In this video, we break down Maiava’s strengths, weaknesses, fit in Lincoln Riley’s offense, and whether he has what it takes to become USC’s next great QB.

We also dive into freshman phenom Jonas Williams and discuss why so many Trojan fans are excited about his future in cardinal and gold. Could he eventually become the face of the program?
