USC Trojans quarterback Miller Moss is following in the footsteps of the sport's giant quarterbacks. While Moss hasn't been perfect by any stretch of the imagination, no quarterback is. It's time to be honest about the issues plaguing USC football.

It’s Miller Moss’ first season as the starting quarterback, and he’s been mostly solid. Moss has passed for 1,618 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions in six games. He has completed 63.7 percent of his passes, and his 269.7 passing yards per game rank 20th among qualified FBS quarterbacks.

Even with the Trojans at 3-4, coach Lincoln Riley made clear Monday that he's not entertaining the idea of benching quarterback Miller Moss. Not yet, at least.
