No. 22 USC Falls at Texas, 37-14
September 15, 2018 | Football, Features
Texas (2-1, 0-0 Big 12), which had started 1-2 in four of the previous five seasons, trailed 14-3 in the first quarter before shutting down freshman quarterback JT Daniels and scoring 34 unanswered points.
Ehlinger threw touchdown strikes of 47 yards to Lil'Jordan Humphrey and 27 yards to Joshua Moore. Wheeler's scoop and score came in the third quarter after Texas blocked a 50-yard field goal attempt. The touchdown put the Longhorns up 30-14.
Daniels passed for 322 yards, but the Trojans (1-2, 0-1 Pac-12) were held to minus-5 yards rushing.
True freshman wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hauled in nine receptions for 167 yards.
THE TAKEAWAY
USC: The Trojans will have to regroup to keep their season together. Daniels was sharp in spots and led USC to a pair of first-quarter touchdowns after not finding the end zone against Stanford a week earlier. Personal fouls kept a couple of Texas scoring drives alive — linebacker Porter Gustin was ejected for targeting — and short punts led directly to two Texas scores.
UP NEXT:
USC returns to Pac-12 play Friday night at home against Washington State.
