It wouldn’t be a USC vs. Stanford rivalry game without a hard-fought, close battle. Yet the Trojans weren’t nearly as close they wanted to be, failing to score a touchdown for the second time in the Clay Helton era.
Let’s get to the Week 2 studs and duds…
Studs
Tyler Vaughns: After catching just four passes on 12 targets a week ago, Tyler Vaughns was the Trojans’ leading receiver on the farm. He hauled in seven passes for 84 yards, including a pair of third-down conversions. Talanoa Hufanga and CJ Pollard: USC safeties are dropping like flies.
