A pass interference penalty costs #USC a TD. Trojans have to settle for a 36-yard FG after three consecutive great stops by the #ArizonaState defense following the penalty. 27-21 USC with 6:29 in 3Q
— Burn City Sports (@BurnCitySports) September 24, 2023

Fourth Quarter
#USC's Bear Alexander sacks Drew Pyne on third down, and #ArizonaState punter Josh Carlson has a much better punt this time. USC takes over at its 22. #USCvsASU
— Burn City Sports (@BurnCitySports) September 24, 2023
#ArizonaState forces a three-and-out and will now take over at its 30 after the punt. ASU's defense has been incredible against the No. 1 offense in the country. #USCvsASU
— Burn City Sports (@BurnCitySports) September 24, 2023
#ArizonaState opens its next drive with a 26-yard pass from Pyne to Badger. Pyne looking much more poised as the game goes on #USCvsASU
— Burn City Sports (@BurnCitySports) September 24, 2023
#USC's Solomon Byrd strip sacks Pyne and the Trojans' Romello Height recovers the ball at the ASU 44. ASU not doing a good job giving the defense time to rest now. USC up 27-21 with 11:25 to go in the game
— Burn City Sports (@BurnCitySports) September 24, 2023
TOUCHDOWN #USC. Trojans go up 35-21 after an incredible scramble and 29-yard touchdown pass from Caleb Williams to Brenden Rice (second of day) and then convert the two-point conversion on a pass to Mario WIlliams. Was only a two-play drive after the fumble recovery. 10:31 left
— Burn City Sports (@BurnCitySports) September 24, 2023
CAM SKATTEBO. The RB scores on a 52-yard pass on a 4th & 7 to cut into the USC lead! 35-28 Trojans with 8:06 to go.
Skattebo has two touchdowns total now and 42 yards passing, 96 yards rushing and 65 yards receiving now. Heck of a game for the Sac St. transfer #USCvsASU pic.twitter.com/giRPfFox6N
