Final Thoughts:
Trojans dominated the 1st Half. But their offense puttered in the 2nd Half. However, Cougars did not get the offense going except for a couple of long drives.

With the win, Trojans are a win away from clinching PAC-12 Southern Division and a berth in PAC-12 Championship Game. 

They will head to Pasadena, to play UCLA Bruins. While Cougars will host California. Both games are Next Saturday.
