The lowdown: The USC vs. ASU score wasn’t blank long, when Tyler Vaughns returned the game’s first punt 82 yards for a touchdown, giving the Trojans a 7-0 lead. From there, Manny Wilkins and the Sun Devils went on to carve up a Marvell Tell-less defense, scoring 24-straight points.
Receiver N’Keal Harry kicked off his special day with a 44-yard touchdown pass to jumpstart the rally. Eno Benjamin, who finished with 192 rushing yards on the day, ran for a pair of first half scores, including capitalizing off a USC turnover on a botched option pitch from third-string and first-time starter Jack Sears.
