USC vs Arizona State

      On 9/26/15 the number 17 (on the AP top 25 poll) USC Trojans beat the Arizona State Sun Devils 42-14. The Trojans had an amazing game on the road and had a much needed win, after loosing to Stanford on 9/19/15. Cody Kessler (quarterback) and the USC offense had an amazing game. Cody Kessler had an excellent game by throwing for 375 yards, completing 19 out of 33 throws, and throwing an amazing five touchdowns. The Trojans threw the ball more than often this game, but it certainly worked because the Trojans blew out the Sun Devils. Adoree Jackson (starting cornerback/back-up receiver) played offense more than often this week, but he had a game to remember. Adoree Jackson had three receptions, 131 yards, and an 80-yard touchdown. JuJu Smith-Schuster also had an amazing game (like always) by having five receptions, 103 yards, and two touchdowns. The defense also had an amazing game by shutting down a very good quarterback, Michael Bercovici (Taft High School alumni). Michael Bercovici completed only 23 passes out of 44 throws, and threw for only 272 yards. Arizona State was forced to run the ball once they realized that their pass offense wasn't going to win the game for them. The Trojans defense was having a little trouble stopping Demario Richard (Arizona State running back), but they quickly figured out a way to stop him. Once the Trojans got a comfortable lead, they started substituting in back-ups to keep the starters healthy. The Trojans had an overall great game, which led to a blowout win. The Trojans will get a chance to rest next week and get better because they have a bye week next week. Hopefully the Trojans will be able to beat the Washington Huskies in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to change their record to 4-1.
