Yes, you’re not reading the USC vs. Stanford final score correctly. The Trojans beat Stanford 45-20. Here’s how it went down…
The lowdown: After USC made a habit of building (and losing)14-point first half leads, Clay Helton’s Trojans decided to switch things up against No. 23 Stanford. It was the visiting Cardinal who roared out to a 17-3 lead early in the second quarter.
Clancy Pendergast’s defense was getting gashed, the special teams was supplying short fields, the offense couldn’t finish off drives and social media had Helton once against dead to rights.
But then the flip switched.
