USC vs Arizona State live stream, Scores, Results and Updates: TV Schedule

But USC may consider running the ball a bit more against Arizona State.

Perhaps worst of all, the Sun Devils have only themselves to blame for their current situation.

The Trojans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 conference games.

The Trojans won in convincing fashion against Arizona State, going up 35-0 at halftime and maintaining a significant margin throughout the entire contest.

“He’s pretty good”, said USC head coach Steve Sarkisian.

On not playing a triple option team: “Just the way practice went period, it’s definitely a relief because you don’t have to worry about all the stuff you’re not used to”. Both teams are 2-1 this season.

This time, the Sun Devils self-destructed with four turnovers in the first half and possibly the most embarrassing performance of the Todd Graham era.

On the season, the Arizona State Sun Devils average 266.3 yards in passing and 157.3 yards in rushing. “Our guys know the implications of this game”.

The Trojans no doubt have it circled, too, simply because of last year’s improbable finish.

There was time for one more Arizona State turnover. Those three wins didn’t come against a murderer’s row by any stretch, but at least the Sun Devils had handled their business impressively.

Why You Need To Care Arizona State and USC have already dropped a game this month. “That’s all I gotta say”.

Jackson went over to the hecklers, shook their hands, his radiant grin beaming in the backdrop of the field lights, and said “Y’all be good”, before jogging off into the visiting locker room at Sun Devil Stadium.

Graham wished it had been a quarterback sneak, about the only time the quarterback is under center in his system.

USC’s inability to get pressure on Kevin Hogan allowed the Cardinal quarterback to pick apart the defense with his arm or legs. Bercovici is seventh in the Pac-12 in completion percentage.

Boykin has 10 touchdown passes to three interceptions while leading the Horned Frogs to a 1-2 against the spread start. He did have that interception on the first drive of the game, but it ended up being a moot point.

USC runs away with the ball, just as they did with the game.

-WR JuJu Smith-Schuster has been unstoppable so far.

But the big numbers should be taken in perspective. The Trojans are 10/30 on third and fourth down conversions and opponents are 20/54.

His Sun Devils are coming off two consecutive games against teams that run the triple-option – Cal Poly and New Mexico – and those schemes were problematic at times for ASU, even in victory. Many of those receiving yards came after the catch, as ASU struggled to wrap-up players after the catch.

The Sun Devils found the endzone in the second half with a pair of Richard touchdown runs, but that was merely a footnote to the nationally-televised dismantling the team suffered.

That included three long third down conversions given up during USC’s first full drive in the second quarter, which followed a overthrown pass by Bercovici that was intercepted by USC’s John Plattenburg.

DESERT HEAT: A big, loud crowd is anticipated and that’s just fine with Kessler. “I busted it”, Simmons said. “They’re tough. They’re loud”. “I remember going over and getting my butt kicked by Stanford“.
