USC tops Stanford 13-10 in Palo Alto: The University of Southern California made a huge statement that they could be the team to beat in the Pac-12 South. With UCLA’s recent struggles against inferior competition, it could become a reality for the #14 Trojans, who used a 53-yard Andre Heidari field goal to beat the #13 Stanford Cardinal, 13-10.
Javorius “Buck” Allen had another big game for the Trojans, running for 154 yards on 23 carries. Wide Receiver Nelson Agholor brought in nine receptions for 91 yards.
Stanford’s downfall came from two missed field goals and two fumbles inside the USC 30 yard line as the Cardinal lost at home for the first time in four seasons as a 17 game home win streak, then the longest active streak in the country, came to an end. Stanford was held scoreless in the second half as USC moves to 2-0 on the season.
