The Trojan offense had its ups and downs as USC vs. Cal ended in a 27-21 victory for the road team on Halloween.
Here’s how each offensive unit graded out against the Bears:
Cody Kessler had a muted outing, but did not make any glaring mistakes to cost his team the game like his counterpart on the other sideline. Without throwing a touchdown, he also protected the ball by avoiding interceptions and completed a respectable 18-of-22 attempts. Very little was attempted, but that meant very little was risked.
The Trojan running backs only averaged 3.7 yards per carry, but Ronald Jones II alone held an average of 7.
