Final Score USC Over Cal

The Trojans played well for all but the first drive for Cal.  The games ends with USC over Cal by 30 – 3.

Best did not look like a Heisman winner tonight.  Both Barkley and McKnight played well.  It was great to see Taylor Mays back on the field, and as always Damian Williams was nails.

USC Football: Joe McKnight Best Player In The Country

These are the words from former-Trojan coach Steve Sarkisian, about USC tailback Joe McKnight,

I think Joe McKnight, he could arguably be the best player in the country right now. I’ve always thought that that now for three years, and it’s coming true. He’s a special player, he’s playing physical, he’s running hard, he’s catching the ball out of back field, and he’s tough to defend.”

USC Ohio State Final Score: 18-15

USC was able to get the win over Ohio State, 18-15.  It was a great game by both teams.  This was a much better Ohio State team than the one the Trojans faced last year in Los Angeles.

As well as Matt Barkley played on the final drive, it was Joe McKnight who won that game.  It was good to see Barkley face a very hostile crowd and fight off the injury to his throwing arm.  Nonetheless, this game goes to McKnight.

That’s why I was shocked to see Joe so, well, upbeat at practice Tuesday.

You could see it in his body language. In his first full practice of the spring, McKnight sprinted around the field, looking 100 percent for the first time since who knows how long. Then he was all smiles as he signed autographs to adoring fans, one after the other.
