Analysis of key plays and concepts in USC football’s win over ASU

Another week, another close call for Clay Helton’s Trojans. On a beautiful afternoon in Tempe, USC went to battle with Herm Edwards and the Sun Devils, and jumped out to a dominant 28-7 lead in the first quarter.

Kedon Slovis and the USC offense was everything Trojans supporters imagined, with the freshman racking up 297 passing yards in the first 15 minutes of the game.

Graham Harrell’s creative playcalling from an expanded playbook gave the Sun Devils fits as they attempted to slow the aerial assault.

Slovis led USC on an 11-play opening drive that he capped off with an eight-yard touchdown to fellow freshman Drake London.
