The USC football season got started with the most frustrating of miracle wins over Arizona State. It resulted in plenty of stud and dud performances.

Here’s a stud: USC’s final three minutes. And a dud: the first 57 minutes. At least, that’s how it felt in the annual USC football season opener at the Coliseum against Arizona State.

The 28-27 win finished on a high with a couple of fantastic showings, but had too many lows to be the dream start Clay Helton and Co.
