All-time series: USC leads 63-33-3
Last meeting: Stanford 17, USC 3 in 2018
Whether it’s the Battle of the Backups, the Backup Bowl or QB2: Electric Boogaloo, USC vs. Stanford could hardly be what anyone expected going into 2019.
Star quarterback K.J. Costello is out for the Cardinal with a concussion. His expected counterpart, JT Daniels, had his sophomore season ended by an ACL injury in Week 1.
So the lens turns to two unproven backups. Stanford’s Davis Mills and USC’s Kedon Slovis.
