The USC Trojans began their first possession of the second quarter at their own 20-yard line. They would find the WSU end zone just 7 plays later with Kedon Slovis hitting Tyler Vaughns for a 35-yard score.
It wasn’t an ideal start to the final three quarters for the Washington State Cougars, but they responded with a touchdown drive of their own. An 11-play, 75-yard, grinder that ended with Travell Harris rushing 5 yards for a score. Blake Mazza missed the extra point to make it a 7-6 score for the final three quarters.
