Stanford 28
USC 17
Devon Cajuste's return to health leads to a return of the deep passing game. Running game struggles a bit in the first half, but a couple if deep completions to the WRs, and commitment to the run start to bear fruit in the second half, when we control,the clock and keep M. Lee off the field.
On D, the front seven shut down the running game, then put Kessler under constant pressure. I think Lee or Agholor get free for a big play or two in the first half, but as the offense extends the lead and controls the clock, the Trojans abandon the run, and the D turns up the heat on Kessler, resulting in at least one pick.
An 11 point win, but it feels like a lot more, given the second half dominance.
