USC leads ASU 21-13 at half, but despite trailing, Arizona State should feel like good heading into the second half. A sold-out crowd led to multiple procedural penalties by the SC offense, pushing Caleb Williams and company into third and long on multiple occasions. But Caleb Williams is inevitable.
SC was able to pick up splash plays on its opening drive, capped by a 1-yard rush touchdown. ASU answered with a 15-yard scamper by running back Cam Skattebo after a fumble recovery at the Trojans 15.
It was clear that Sun Devil offense had a pulse, something ASU faithful had been desperately looking for, and both sides of the ball fed off the crowd.
