Off The Mark

USC’s 28 points against UCLA means the Trojans scored 30 or more points in only 2 of their 8 Pac-10 games this season. Last year, USC scored 30 or more in 4 of 9 games, so this year’s offense will not better the mark.
It also means USC failed to score 30 points or more in just 11 of 35 Pac-10 games from 2006-2009.
By comparison, USC scored 30 or more in 27 of 32 games from 2002-2005.
