USC vs. Cal score, quick recap: Trojans’ 14-year win streak snapped
Saturday’s USC vs. Cal score wasn’t a good one for the Trojans, who suffered their first loss to the Golden Bears since 2003.
The lowdown: The first half was a dominant one for the Trojans’ defense, holding Cal to just 69 total yards at a 2.88 yards per play average. The Bears didn’t take a snap beyond the 50-yard line and only crossed into USC territory on a Chase Garbers run in which he fumbled. Clay Helton’s offense took advantage with 14 points before halftime, scoring on a pair of touchdown passes from JT Daniels to Tyler Vaughns.
But they could’ve done more damage. USC botched a fake field goal attempt on their first drive and fumbled in the red zone to end the half. They’d regret that.
