Last weekend the Trojan defense stole the show in a 28-0 shutout of Arizona State. This weekend it was the Trojan offense that could do no wrong, and all without Joe McKnight who was nursing an injury. USC’s offense had 624 yards to Washington State’s 116, in the team’s largest shutout victory since a 69-0 win over Montana in 1931.
Sanchez cleaned up his act with no interceptions and 5 touchdowns in the first half: 2 to Turner, 2 to RoJo and 1 to McCoy. Three tailbacks had over 100 yards, Broderick Green (126 yd, 2 td), Stafon Johnson (111 yd) and CJ Gable (104 yd, 3 tds). The Cougar’s only bright spot was a blocked extra point to start the second quarter. And to credit the Trojan-D [who made it look effortless] USC has not been scored on in their last ten quarters of play, without a touchdown against them since Oregon managed a single TD in the first quarter, three games back.
