The last Stanford-USC game was a pounding. On Sept. 9 in Los Angeles, the Trojans won a 42-24 final that was just as lopsided as the score suggested. They put up 8.4 yards per play (623 total) and punted one time all night. Stanford’s offense was fine, but the Cardinal defense couldn’t stop Sam Darnold and friends from taking what they wanted.

The teams play again Friday for the Pac-12 championship (8 p.m. ET, ESPN). The Trojans are 4-point favorites and have a 54 percent chance to win, per S&P+ projections.
