USC outplayed Cal in a 30-20 win on Saturday, but not by a lot. With the score tied entering halftime, USC’s offense looked lurchy. USC outscored Cal in the four-minute stretch by 17 points to avoid a hairy ending, even though Cal outgained USC 416 yards to 356. The Trojans have won 13 games in a row, its longest since winning 34 in a row from 2003 to 2005. USC came back with quick, efficient response, capped by a 16-yard Darnold throw to tight end Tyler Petite.
