Wow.
What a thrill ride that was. Unlike the Utah game on Oct. 15, USC came out on top and made the final big play against UCLA, getting the big defensive stop it lacked in Salt Lake City.
In order for Korey Foreman to make a game-sealing play, of course, USC had to be in the lead first. If the Trojans did not score 40 or even 45 points, they’re not in position to win with one last takeaway, one last UCLA turnover.
Caleb Williams and the USC offense did leave points on the field. Yet, they still scored 48. It wasn’t a perfect performance, but it wasn’t below-average performance, either.
It was annoying for USC fans at times — especially at the end when the Trojans’ offense couldn’t finish the game off — but it ended happily.
