They are #3 in pts/gm, #1 in total offense, and #32 in total defense. We are #1 in pts/gm, #31 in total offense, and #1 in total defense.

USC K Alexander kicks a 24 yard FG to cut the lead to 7.

USC CB#7 picks a pass by QB Schroeder and returns it 62 yards for the score with 2:00 remaining. QB Schroeder drives the team down the field and HB Mitchell scores from 2 yards out with :09 left in the game. LOLB Marcus Bailey sacks the SC QB to end this one. Whew!

QB Jason Schroeder had a great first half, but he cooled off in the second as the offensive line imploded and he was constantly running for his life. Up next is probably the Florida State Seminoles.
