USC's defense will try to maintain turnover mind-set during off week

USC will have more than a week to savor its 42-14 victory over Arizona State.

The Trojans do not play again until Oct. 8, a Thursday night game against Washington at the Coliseum.

USC defensive players will try in the meantime to maintain the turnover mentality that helped the Trojans rebound from their loss against Stanford.

USC intercepted a pass and forced three fumbles against Arizona State for a victory that on Sunday propelled the Trojans from 19th to 17th in the Associated Press media poll and from 18th to 16th in the coaches' poll.

The Trojans rank eighth nationally in turnover margin.
