After the Terrapins block a field goal then take the lead with 53 seconds left, the Trojans lose their third in a row to fall to 3-4 on the season

The Terrapins trailed by 14 points in the fourth quarter but rallied for a 29-28 victory, their first in Big Ten play.

USC was up 28-14 with 13:31 to go when QB Miller Moss hit Duce Robinson for a 26-yard TD. Maryland cut the lead to six with just under 10 minutes to go, but USC had a great chance to close the game out when Terrapins QB Billy Edwards was sacked on a fourth down with less than three minutes to go.
