USC vs Arizona

     The USC Trojans beat the Arizona Wildcats 38-30 on 11/7/15. USC played an overall great game against the Wildcats which lead to a victory. The offense came out firing on all cylinders by racking up 243 passing yards and 229 rushing yards. There were a lot of offensive stars in this game, such as quarterback Cody Kessler, running back Justin Davis, running back Ronald Jones II, and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. All of the stars above had one touchdown, except for Cody Kessler, Justin Davis, and Ronald Jones II who had two touchdowns. The USC defense had a decent game by only allowing the Arizona Wildcats to rack up 60 rushing yards, but they allowed far to many passing yards (352 passing yards). Although, the defense played a decent game, and held their own for the most part. All in all, both the USC offense and defense had amazing games. Hopefully, the Trojans can beat the Colorado Buffaloes on 11/13/15 to advance their record to 7-3.

USC vs Cal

     The USC Trojans beat the Cal Bears 27-21 on 10/31/15! The USC Trojans had an overall great game to beat Cal. The USC offense had a great game by racking up 220 passing yards, 185 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns. Although star quarterback Cody Kessler didn't throw any touchdowns, he still had a great game by completing 18 out of 22 throws and throwing for 186 yards. The USC defense also had a great game by recovering one fumble and two interceptions. One of those defensive interceptions was recovered by Adoree Jackson and taken to the house (pick-six). Adoree Jackson's interception against Cal was his first college interception ever. The USC defense also did an excellent job of stopping Cal's explosive running back, Khalfani Muhammad (Sutter Middle School alumni/ Notre Dame High School alumni). They stalled Khalfani Muhammad's extraordinary running skills by only allowing him to rack up 30 yards on 11 carries. In conclusion, the USC Trojans had a great game to defeat the Cal Bears. Hopefully, the USC Trojans will have another great game to defeat the Arizona Wildcats on 11/7/15 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. If the USC Trojans defeat the Arizona Wildcats, they will advance their record to 6-3.

USC vs Utah

     The USC Trojans beat the number three best team in the nation, the Utah Utes on 10/24/15 . The Trojans basically shut down the Utes with a final score of 42-24. The Trojans had an amazing game the whole entire game. They played with swagger and with a sense of fearlessness. It came as more of a surprise to me that USC beat the Utes because this was Clay Helton's (interim head coach) first game since former head coach Steve Sarkisian was fired. The USC offense had an amazing game racking up 264 passing yards, 116 rushing yards, and six touchdowns. Star quarterback, Cody Kessler greatly impacted the win by completing 21 out of 29 throws, committing a rushing touchdown, and throwing a touchdown. The USC defense also had a great game by catching four touchdowns, one of which was a pick-six (when you catch an interception and score a touchdown). Freshman linebacker, Cameron Smith had an amazing game by catching three of the four interceptions and committing the pick-six. All in all, the Trojans had an amazing game. Hopefully, the Trojans can beat the Cal Bears on 10/31/15 to advance their record to 5-3.
