“This is the closest we have played to a complete game, which has been our theme for two weeks in a row. I think if you take out the three first-half turnovers you would feel like it was a complete game. Unfortunately, we can’t take those out and that was our big negative in that game.. Offensively we were productive outside of that.
“We did play a complete half, the second half and we can walk away with that.”
— USC coach Lane Kiffin
