ASU outlasts USC 38-35 in a key Pac-12 South Matchup

Third-string QB Jack Sears made his first start for the Trojans and did so impressively finishing the game with 235 yards on 20-of-28 passing and two touchdowns in a losing effort to the Arizona State Sundevils, 38-35.

It was another good game for Michael Pittman Jr. as he finished the game with six receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Outside of a key drop, Tyler Vaughns also had a great day catching four balls for 76 yards and a touchdown as well as throwing for a 36-yard touchdown.

Even tough the Trojans had one of their best scoring games this season, their inability to stop the run and their string of missed tackles kept Arizona State in control during key stretches of the game.
