College Football
Kickoff
Somewhere over the Rockies, life in the new Big Ten must have hit home for Miller Moss.
Moss, now at Louisville, was USC’s starting quarterback in its inaugural season in a new league. The Trojans played conference games at Michigan, Minnesota and Maryland and lost all three, despite being favored in each game. Moss and his teammates made three long flights back to L.A., their knees folded behind tray tables and their legs stuffed into compression boots designed to improve circulation and reduce soreness.
“Just being completely candid, if you fly back that long and you lose the game, you’re sitting on that flight for five hours coming back,” Moss said. “For lack of a better word, that sucks.”
