The Pac-12 Championship game had everything, from Christian McCaffrey putting on a show to Cody Kessler scoring on a zone-read keeper. At the end of the day, Stanford got the win over USC, 41-22.
The lowdown: Stanford started the game by owning the first half. The Cardinal had 21 minutes of possession in it, which was full of Christian McCaffrey doing Christian McCaffrey things. The Heisman hopeful had 155 rushing yards by halftime, and put Stanford on the board with the only touchdown of the first two quarters, a pass to Kevin Hogan. While USC’s defense was without answers for stopping the Cardinal running game, the Trojans couldn’t generate much on offense either, gaining only 80 total yards.
