10/02/21 - QB Kedon Slovis, rSr/2024, Brigham Young

Kedon Slovis threw three touchdown passes and Southern California broke out of its doldrums Saturday with a 37-14 rout of free-falling Colorado. Slovis completed 19 of 29 throws for 276 yards and hit Drake London, Michael Trigg and Gary Bryant Jr. with scoring passes as the Trojans (3-2, 2-2 Pac-12) bounced back in a big way from their first home loss to Oregon State in 61 years by rolling over a Buffaloes team whose offense remains stuck in neutral. The Buffaloes (1-4, 0-2) fell to 0-15 against Southern Cal with their fourth consecutive loss since a win in their opener over lower-division Northern Colorado.

Brendon Lewis was held to 10-of-17 passing for 162 yards, was intercepted once and sacked five times. The Buffs converted just 1 of 10 third downs and failed on a fourth-down try. The Trojans gained just 2 yards on the game's opening possession but they made up for it by scoring on their next four drives to build a 20-0 cushion. A fumble at midfield by USC running back Keaontray Ingram gave the Buffs a big break just before halftime. Safety Mark Perry pounced on the loose ball at the Trojans 48, and that gave Colorado's sputtering offense its first foray in USC territory. Seven plays later, Deion Smith scored from a yard out to pull the Buffs to 20-7 at halftime. The Buffs got the ball coming out the break with hopes of making it a one-score game, but they turned it over on their first two drives, once on a strip sack and another time on downs, and the Trojans capitalized by expanding their lead to 30-7. And cornerback Joshua Jackson Jr.'s interception set up Bryant's 15-yard TD catch that made it 37-14 early in the fourth quarter. - Southern California/AP College Football
