The University of Southern California (USC) Trojans delivered a resounding performance on Saturday night, obliterating Cal State Northridge (CSUN) Matadors by a staggering score of 124-39 in a non-conference clash at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The Trojans' offense erupted like a volcanic eruption, setting a new program record for points scored in a single game. Quarterback Caleb Williams orchestrated a symphony of precision and power, connecting with his receivers and orchestrating the ground attack with surgical efficiency.

Wide receiver Jordan Addison was the primary beneficiary of Williams' brilliance, hauling in a remarkable eight receptions for 203 yards and four touchdowns. The Trojans' ground game also made its presence felt, led by running back Travis Dye, who carried the ball 22 times for 175 yards and three scores.

Dominant Defense

Linebacker Eric Gentry led the defense with a game-high 10 tackles, while cornerback Mekhi Blackmon provided an electrifying highlight by intercepting Daniels and returning it for a touchdown.

Impressive Record and Next Challenge

With the resounding victory, the Trojans improve their record to 12-0 on the season, maintaining their undefeated status and solidifying their position as a College Football Playoff contender.
