No. 6 USC defense clamps down, beats Washington State 30-14

Box Score

LOS ANGELES (AP) Caleb Williams threw two touchdown passes to Mario Williams and No. 6 Southern California shut out Washington State in the second half of a 30-14 victory Saturday night.

Travis Dye rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown for the Trojans (6-0, 4-0 Pac-12), who stayed unbeaten in coach Lincoln Riley's first season. USC hadn't started a season 6-0 since 2006, near the height of coach Pete Carroll's powerhouse era.

Caleb Williams went only 15 of 29 for 188 yards, but made big throws when necessary in an up-and-down performance.
