Make no mistake, USC vs. Texas was a sloppy affair, one that raises many questions about where the Trojans go from here.
Going 6-of-18 on third down? Not good.
Going 0-of-3 on four down? Not good.
Going 2-of-4 in the redzone? Not good.
Taking eight penalties for the third straight game? Not good.
Tossing two interceptions for the third straight game? Not good.
The litany of concerns could go on after USC pulled out 27-24 double overtime victory over the Longhorns.
But where is the fun in that? On a night when Clay Helton’s Trojans were not at their best, they still found a way to win—a 12th consecutive win.
