  Kedon Slovis completed 29 of 35 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns against one of the Pac-12's top pass defenses, leading Southern California to a 41-17 victory over California on Saturday night. Slovis threw touchdown passes on the final drive of the first half for the Trojans (7-4, 6-2 Pac-12) and the opening drive of the third quarter to keep USC in the race for the Pac-12 South title. The Trojans are a half-game behind Utah but holds the tiebreaker based on a head-to-head win. The Golden Bears (5-5, 2-5) had no answer for Slovis and USC's talented group of receivers and lost for the fifth time in six games. After entering the day allowing a conference-low nine touchdown passes on the season, Cal was picked apart by Slovis.

Michael Pittman Jr. had 11 catches for 180 yards and a TD and Drake London added six catches for 111 yards and a score. Slovis connected on an 18-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown to cap USC's opening drive and then helped the Trojans break open a tie game with his TDs surrounding halftime. He also connected on a 33-yard touchdown to Pittman on a third-and-12 in the final minute of the first half to make it 17-10. He then threw a 50-yard pass to St. Brown on the opening drive of the third quarter, setting up an 8-yard TD pass to London to make it a 14-point game. - USC/AP College Football

  Christian Rector saw a receiver break free off the edge and slipped into coverage. Realizing the ball was coming his way, he stuck his hand up, tipped it to himself and made a diving interception. With one nimble play, Southern California's 6-foot-4, 270-pound defensive lineman halted Arizona State's comeback attempt, secured the Trojans' bowl eligibility and gave coach Clay Helton a respite for at least one more week. Kedon Slovis threw for 432 yards and four touchdowns, Rector made his game-clinching interception with 25 seconds left and USC held on to beat Arizona State 31-26 on Saturday. "I like being in that position at the end of games, having our defense out there," Rector said. "Being able to get stops, we're comfortable doing that."

USC (6-4, 5-2 Pac-12) needed plenty of big stops to become bowl eligible after missing the postseason last year. The Trojans jumped on the Sun Devils with 28 points in the first quarter behind Slovis' 297 yards and four TDs passing. As injuries piled up and Arizona State (5-4, 2-4) found a better rhythm on both sides of the ball, USC's lead dwindled from 21 in the first quarter to five by the fourth. Facing what would have been a disastrous collapse, the Trojans found a way to eke out a win and remain in the thick of the Pac-12 South race, a game behind No. 8 Utah. USC's Amon-Ra St. Brown caught eight passes for 173 yards and Michael Pittman Jr. had 13 catches for 146 yards. - USC/AP College Football

  USC's fabulous freshman kept the Trojans unbeaten against Colorado. Freshman Kedon Slovis threw for 406 yards and four TD passes, including scores of 44 and 37 yards to Michael Pittman Jr . in the fourth quarter, and Southern California escaped Folsom Field with a 35-31 win Friday night over the hard-luck Buffaloes, who fell to 0-14 against the Trojans. The difference-maker was the 37-yarder with 2:15 left that gave USC its first lead since early in the second quarter. "Honestly the line just held up and Kedon threw me a great ball in stride and I just kind of ran around the defense," said Pittman, whose 44-yard TD cut Colorado's lead to 31-28 with about 11 minutes left.

Also coming up huge for the Trojans were fellow freshmen Amon-Ra St. Brown (37-yard TD run), Kenan Christon (85 rushing yards, TD reception), Drake London (seven catches for 85 yards). Christon and London also recovered fumbles by Kedon that kept alive two touchdown drives. "That was a great college football game tonight," Trojans coach Clay Helton said. "We knew walking in here that Colorado plays great ball at their place. I couldn't be any more proud of every man in that room." The Trojans (5-3, 4-1 Pac-12) improved to 14-0 all-time against Colorado with their first win in four road games this season and they handed the Buffaloes (3-5, 1-4) their fourth straight loss. - AP College Football

  Michael Pittman went off against Utah, with one of the best individual receiving games in USC history pushing him to 11th in the country in yards receiving per game at 109.3. At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, Pittman is a security blanket for whoever is playing quarterback for the Trojans. USC is already on its third after injuries to J.T Daniels (knee) and Kedon Slovis, who was knocked out of the Utah game early. No word on whether Matt Fink will have to start this week at No. 17 Washington, but his former roommate Pittman is here to help pull him through. - AP College Football

  Michael Pittman Jr. caught 10 passes for a career-high 232 yards and a touchdown from backup quarterback Matt Fink, who passed for 351 yards in Southern California's 30-23 victory over No. 10 Utah on Friday night. Fink, a junior who nearly transferred last spring, went 21 of 30 with three touchdown passes for USC (3-1, 2-0 Pac-12) after taking over when freshman Kedon Slovis left with an undisclosed injury on the second play of the game. Fink mostly looked sharp as the third quarterback to play important snaps in four games for the Trojans, who lost starter J.T. Daniels to a season-ending knee injury in their opener.

Tyler Vaughns, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Pittman all caught TD passes from Fink, while Pittman had the fifth-biggest receiving yardage game in USC history. His remarkable 42-yard catch in the fourth quarter eventually led to a 4-yard TD run by Markese Stepp, who celebrated by handing the ball to Reggie Bush, the Trojans great attending the game as a broadcaster despite his NCAA-mandated disassociation from his school. Devontae Henry-Cole rushed for an early touchdown and Cole Fotheringham caught a TD pass for the Utes (3-1, 0-1), who struggled after star running back Zack Moss left in the first half with an apparent shoulder injury. Utah still has never won at the 96-year-old Coliseum. Tyler Huntley passed for 210 yards and ran for 60 more, but Utah committed 16 penalties for 120 yards and struggled to get key defensive stops against a green Trojans quarterback. - Southern Cal/AP College Football

  WEEK 2 PAC-12 OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Austin Jackson, USC, Jr., OT, USC (Phoenix, Ariz.),...In USC's 45-20 win over No. 23 Stanford, Jackson anchored an offensive line effort that allowed true freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis, making his first career start, to pass for 377 yards with only 1 sack...The Trojans also rushed for 115 yards. Jackson had a key seal block to spring tailback Stephen Carr for a 25-yard touchdown around the left side late in the first half to start USC's 35-point run to finish the game...Jackson also blocked a third quarter field goal (the second of his career) that would have brought Stanford within a point of tying the Trojans...Earlier in the day, Jackson was profiled on ESPN GameDay as a bone marrow donor this summer for his sister, who suffers from Diamond-Blackfin anemia, a rare blood disorder that leads to severe anemia. Also nominated: Jake Hanson, ORE; Jake Curhan, CAL; Josh McCauley, ARIZ; Arlington Hambright, COLO; Blake Brandel, OSU; Darrin Paulo, UTAH; Abe Lucas, WSU. - Pac-12 Football

  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 Saturday 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.

Freshman backup Kedon Slovis passed for 57 yards in his debut for the Trojans (1-0), who opened a high-pressure season for coach Clay Helton with a major injury overshadowing strong performances across the rest of the Air Raid-style offense installed by new coordinator Graham Harrell. Stephen Carr caught a TD pass and rushed for another score, while Malepeai scored a touchdown and grinded out plenty of tough yards in the second half. Tyler Vaughns had 11 catches for a career-high 150 yards for the Trojans, whose point total was hurt by two red-zone turnovers by Daniels before his injury. - AP College Football

  Sunday's scrimmage was memorable, as promised. The Longhorns might have lost two starters less than three weeks before the season opener. Running back Keaontay Ingram "tweaked his knee" and safety Caden Sterns "rolled his ankle," according to Texas coach Tom Herman. Neither player finished the scrimmage, and both left the Whitaker Sports Complex on crutches. "The on-field examinations look promising, but obviously we'll know more once we get those guys evaluated," Herman said. Both sophomores are expected to be key contributors this season. If the coaching staff had to choose, they'd prefer to get Ingram back sooner. The depth at running back is now perilously thin. - Austin American Statesman

  Senior linebacker Jordan Iosefa dislocated his patella and suffered cartilage damage in his knee, Helton said. Iosefa had surgery Tuesday and is expected to miss at least four to six weeks. Judging by Helton's reaction, the prognosis could’ve been much worse. "He's one of the warriors of our team," Helton said. "I’m very happy for him." - LA Times

  Austin Jackson wants to lead Southern California back to the Pac-12 title, but the left tackle already scored a bigger victory when he donated bone marrow to his younger sister, Autumn, last month. Jackson said the transplant to treat his sister's Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a genetic condition that causes bone marrow to not produce red blood cells, seems to be working.

"We found out about a week ago that her body is beginning to accept it," Jackson said Friday night after the Trojans opened training camp. "She's doing great. She was supposed to be in the hospital for about three months. She was engrafted, which means her body accepted the cells, and so she got sent home a month earlier."

Jackson underwent tests last summer that found his bone marrow was a perfect 12-point match for his sister, who has received blood transfusions every three weeks since the age of 12. He had no hesitation about agreeing to become a donor, he said, a decision made before doctors informed him doing so would present no risk to his promising football career. - AP College Football
