No. 6 USC dominated Nevada on both sides of the ball (!) in a 66-14 blowout victory that bumps the Trojans to 2-0 entering their first game of their final season of Pac-12 play.
LOS ANGELES — Caleb Williams and friends carved up Nevada on Saturday like a hungry man attacking a pot roast. Six passing touchdowns! Some 668 total yards! And 66 points!
Facing Nevada for the first time since 1929, USC gave up 360 total yards – and 150 of those came on two passing plays. Otherwise, the Trojans held Nevada to just two touchdowns, bookends in a blowout, and forced them to go three-and-out six times. Although the Wolf Pack stunned their hosts by landing a four-play touchdown punch on their first drive to tie the game temporarily, the 7-7 mirror yielded no further smoke. After that, USC cracked down and didn’t allow Nevada back on the board again until AJ Bianco’s 77-yard TD pass to Jamaal Bell with 11:18 to go in the fourth quarter. By then, USC led 52-14.
Shane Lee seemed to swallow Nevada players whole, finishing with a game-high 10 tackles – five of them solo and one for a 13-yard loss. Smith finished with six tackles and Domani Jackson had five, as did Calen Bullock – who came soaring to break up a pass attempt along the sideline, wisely batting it away instead of pulling it in and giving the Trojans’ offense 25 yards better field position.Of course, this all came against an overmatched opponent playing its first game.
