No. 10 Stanford opened its Pac-12 slate with a 17-3 win over No. 17 USC at Stanford Stadium on Saturday night.
Running back Bryce Love came alive with 22 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown, and quarterback K.J. Costello went 16-of-27 for 183 yards and a score to push Stanford to 2-0
USC's offense, which was not nearly as prolific, produced 3.1 yards per carry and received a shaky outing from freshman quarterback JT Daniels. The former 5-star recruit finished 16-of-34 for 215 yards and two interceptions as USC dropped to 1-1 following a win over UNLV in its season opener.
