LOS ANGELES — You tin instrumentality your prime of which infinitesimal was the existent nail successful the coffin Saturday successful No. 14 USC’s 42-28 nonaccomplishment to Stanford.
When the reliable Drake London fto a third-down walk gaffe done his hands to beryllium intercepted and returned 31 yards for a touchdown. When the Trojans failed to people a third-quarter touchdown for the seventh clip successful 8 games contempt an 11-point halftime deficit.
Or erstwhile Stanford backmost Tanner McKee rushed for a touchdown with 25 seconds near successful the 3rd quarter. That was surely erstwhile galore of the fans astatine the Coliseum decided it was over, heading straight for the exits. Those that remained seemed to bash truthful lone to boo aft each failed drive, oregon missed tackle, oregon penalty.
The crippled was a catastrophe anyhow you chopped it for USC (1-1, 0-1 successful Pac-12).
The Trojans went 5-for-14 connected 3rd down, averaging conscionable 3.0 yards connected those conversion attempts. They lone gained an mean of 5.4 yards per play wide compared to Stanford’s 7.4.
And that was conscionable the offense.
As for the different broadside of the ball, which was the starring attraction successful the play opener? The USC defence allowed a Stanford squad that gained 233 yards successful 4 quarters a week agone to summation 248 successful the archetypal fractional astatine the Coliseum.
That mightiness beryllium the worst part: Stanford (1-1, 1-0) looked dreadful conscionable a week agone successful a 17-point nonaccomplishment to Kansas State. That’s wherefore the Trojans entered the play arsenic 17-point favorites against the Cardinal.
Instead of coasting to triumph arsenic the enactment would suggest, USC suffered its astir lopsided nonaccomplishment to an unranked hostile since 2018.
And the subject that USC showed a week agone with 4 penalties? Well, the Trojans regressed successful that department, drafting 9 flags to springiness up 109 yards of tract presumption and 5 Stanford archetypal downs.
Things started astir arsenic poorly arsenic imaginable for USC. Kicker Parker Lewis was ejected for targeting connected the opening kickoff, the discourtesy had consecutive two-and-outs and the defence gave up its archetypal large play of the season, with Stanford moving backmost Nathaniel Peat breaking escaped to the extracurricular for an 87-yard touchdown run.
It looked arsenic if USC had settled down with a methodical, 15-play, 95-yard touchdown thrust capped by a two-yard tally from Keaontay Ingram, helped crossed the extremity enactment by halfway Brett Neilon to necktie the crippled astatine the commencement of the 2nd quarter.
But the Trojans’ drama of errors continued connected the adjacent antiaircraft drive. USC committed 3 costly penalties: A dead-ball unnecessary roughness infraction from Chris Steele, a walk interference connected Isaac Taylor-Stuart and, lastly and astir crucially, a neutral portion infraction by Joshua Jackson earlier a palmy Stanford tract goal.
Rather than instrumentality the 3 points, Stanford opted to spell for it each from the USC 3. McKee rolled extracurricular to his close and recovered Elijah Higgins for a touchdown.
The last indignity came aft USC backmost Kedon Slovis missed London successful the extremity portion connected third-and-five. The Trojans settled for Alex Stadthaus’ archetypal vocation tract extremity and, they hoped, a four-point halftime deficit.
But the Cardinal drove 64 yards successful 4 plays, helped successful ample portion by a 49-yard completion to Austin Jones. McKee recovered Brycen Tremayne successful the backmost of the extremity portion for different touchdown a 21-10 halftime lead.
As USC ran to the locker room, the players were showered with boos. Head manager Clay Helton’s halftime interrogation played connected the large surface astatine the crippled was drowned retired by the fans’ displeasure.
