Game Notes

#3 Trojans stage a late drive to beat the #8 Buckeyes 18-15.

True freshman Matt Barkley leads USC on an 86-yard drive, capped by Stafon Johnson's 2-yard run w/ 1:05 to play. The Trojans had struggled on offense all night, save for a 1st quarter TD run by Johnson that was set up in scoring territory by a turnover.

Ohio State takes a 15-10 lead in the 3rd quarter on a field goal and a bad snap through the end zone for a safety. However, on the final drive its Barkley and Joe McKnight, who carry the Trojans. Barkley finishes 15-of-31 for 195 yards, while McKnight rushes for 60 yards and catches 2 for 45, including a big 21-yard catch on 3rd-and-8 from the 16 on the final drive.
