Caleb Williams passed for 281 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score while playing only the first half, Zachariah Branch returned a punt 75 yards for a TD, and No. 6 USC routed Stanford 56-10 on Saturday night.
"Not pacing myself at all," Williams said."I'm going out there trying to kill. That's what we're trying to do. We're trying to make everybody feel our pain and play on our own terms, like Coach said. Take that identity of ourselves and figure that out.""Obviously, we're not at their level right now," new coach Troy Taylor said."But we will shoot to be there, and we will continue to work at it.
"We're a young team, we knew that," Taylor said."But that doesn't mean we can't be a really good team, so we're going to continue to work, and I can promise you that those guys will not go in the tank. They'll be ready to move on." and split the Stanford coverage unit down the middle. Branch returned a kickoff for a TD in his electrifying debut two weeks ago.
