Vavae Malepeai rushed for a career-high 134 yards, Velus Jones Jr. returned a kickoff 101 yards for a score and Southern California overcame the loss of starting quarterback J.T. Daniels to a right leg injury in a 31-23 victory over Fresno State on Satur day night. Daniels passed for 215 yards before getting hurt on a blitz 27 seconds before halftime. The sophomore was unable to put weight on his right leg, and he returned to the sideline on crutches with a brace on his right knee for the second half. | | |
