LOS ANGELES — USC quarterback Jayden Maiava is not comfortable, despite the Trojans getting out to a 3-0 start to the season. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s uncomfortable.

“I don’t think I’m comfortable at all right now,” Maiava told reporters after practice on Tuesday. “There’s a lot to learn from. You don’t want to get complacent. When you get a little success, you don’t want to fall back. You just want to work harder, and sharpen that edge.”

The efforts to become a smarter – and better-rested – quarterback are culminating in a forceful start to the season.

Maiava has emerged as the top quarterback in the Big Ten Conference when it comes to passing yards per game (329.7) and he’s averaging 14.1 yards per attempt.
