Arizona Football trails USC 17-0 at the half in a game dominated by the Trojan offense. Arizona was outgained by the Trojans in the first half 281 to 116. The Wildcats were assisted by nine USC penalties for 95 yards, or things could have potentially been worse.
USC started the scoring out with a 12-play, 90-yard drive in the first quarter, capped off by a Vavae Malepeai touchdown. A Khalil Tate interception in the second quarter on a broken play led to a USC field goal to make it 10-0. After a quick three-and-out, USC ate up over five minutes of clock to make things 17-0 on an Aca’Cedric Ware touchdown.
