USC Trojans vs. LSU Tigers | Full Game Highlights | ESPN College Football

lining it up we're just about set in [Applause] Vegas underway and it will be Thomas getting the first touch and he had a crease but a good job by the Trojan special teams n Meer will throw quickly and that's kir Lacy first play of first down foru so like we said you're going to see R rely on that running [Music] game now on a little half roll he'll fire again and Lacy I think he got a foot down again so two plays there Alexander the game for SC they protect him and they get it out to the tight end Mason Taylor Taylor all the way down to the 20 yd line and he's got another first down for the Tigers did as he takes the All-American tackle instead of blocking right there he's going to slide to the outside that corner is picked up nicely gives him time goes the opposite direction to Big Mason Taylor Who's now in his third year makes a great now first and 10 just outside the 20 back to the ground and running with the ball is Jackson and Caleb Jackson showing that I checked that 18 not 28 is goal for NES Meyer he'll throw the slant he's got it complete but his receiver will be stopped short it's Kyle Parker and it'll be fourth down pressure coming they're on NM he get gets away and he has to throw it away and the Trojans get a [Applause] [Music] stop Moss to throw has a man down the middle finds his tied end and Lake McCree makes his second catch oh that that we just I think his defense has really responded to him very well we'll see how they do [Applause] tonight setting it up and there is Branch branch is electric he's across the 45 and dances out of bounds just short of Midfield listed at 67 320 looked bigger than that he made a big block there Moss buys a little time puts it into traffic did he pull that down Kiren Hudson oh my goodness What A Catch what a play that's just a one hand let me throw my hand up and give it a shot that's between two Defenders then if he loses the ball I'm sure they're going to take a look at that to see if he held on to it I say just for on the field a catch for a first down one hand ball comes out two hands I'm pulling for him hold on to that ball play stands in a 24 yd gain from Kiren Hudson kid out of modern day watch the left arm forearm I think it prevents the ball from hitting the ground the right hand had firm control he'll give it to Mar and he's into the end zone for the first touchdown of the season for USC starts as a double team watch him stay on that block and the back gets right behind him that's the look at our full line stand for LSU against LSU H that 1400 lb shouldn't be confused with the weight Lincoln Riley feels to get this thing going USC after a disappointing year last year and two times kind of gets it out into the flat there KK had to pick up a few inches for the first down and Williams will get him more than that he's out close to the 45 you know in the Holly Point Eric is one of the guys who's gained some weight we've seen him play linebacker at barely 200 lb as quick completion zav young Thomas Street closed tonight they expect to get him back later in the season nus Meer back to work another completion this one to CJ Daniels it's a first down for LSU lazy in motion nzme looking that way now on the wheel throws it up Lacy caught it did he get down this time he did touchdown LSU these defense you want to get a safety on your best receiver and that's what they do with that motion you get the safety down look who has to try to cover that best receiver Ball's there he's in position just doesn't make the play doesn't finish on the play he was in position but the ball gets away from him ball almost C away from Lacy but he does get a hold of it and gets a foot down for that touchdown remember the opening drive Lacy was like conduct offense number two that's his first un Sports Mo likee foul of the game the foul will be enforced on the kickoff Zariah Branch you really don't want to give him the extra room to work [Music] with here is Branch looking for room branch has a seam Goodbye Oh I thought he had him he couldn't put a play by the kickoff man to get him college game and that penalty by Lacy gave Branch a chance to have more space Pat McAfee if he's watching very proud of that kicker's effort RW vegas.com big kickoff return from Branch Moss tries to pay it off immediately and he does he's got Deuce Robinson for the big gain and the sack they've backed all the way up to the 24 here's Moss this time a screen flips it out there's Branch you had the kickoff return Zachariah Branch gets down to the four yd line man is he fun to watch ball away from it it sure looked like that was a really good play by stamps at 22y field goal attempt is true for Lance ways but these two defenses the last couple of years have been very Civ likee and it's not the case they're working for it in this one another strike from nus me to Lacy he's inside the 35 and down to the 32 he is slinging darts in 36 Ramos with the leather on the way and we are tied at [Applause] [Music] 10 getting some heat they tried to send it up to the bat Woody barks broke one tackle but not the second one a lot of white shirts there to be able to try to get after Miller moss moss right down the middle and right on the money finds McKai lemon that'll be a first down to the 36 and based on pregame warm-ups they're right on the edge of field goal range already communication until 15 seconds on the play clock go on the ground Woody marks has a SE marks inside the 20 and he's knocked down clock will stop to move the chains 12 seconds left SC still with a [Applause] timeout it is on the way and he missed it I I I said it not real happy with the split decision in 03 even 21 years later he changed things up after that and lo there was a miscommunication and that could have very easily been disastrous Ashton stamps was there empty backfield M Moss got time firing down the middle this time no one knocks it away from Ford Ford across Midfield into MSU territory before he's finally knock knock down Jordan Allen stops him and a huge play from Mo to for picks up 41 Zachariah Branch Zachariah Branch actually I think was the intended target they end up going to for for it cut in front of that Moss throwing the fade throwing deep and flags coming everywhere as they're going to get PJ Woodland the youngster The Freshman from hanburg Mississippi interference yeah never located the football you know it's tough thing to do especially for a true freshman Defense number 11 going up by the way this young freshman's going to be a superstar in the SEC he's a great player this time he's just out of position you see his head never turns around good job by Duce Robinson Moss under heat down he goes pressure in there coming from Savon and he should be the first wanted to go over and high five the secondary because of the coverage that they played Zone coverage good job of taking away all the potential on the Miss he had from 29 this one from 35 and this time he does not flinch and he puts USC on top earlier the day did that previous field goal drive for the Trojans nus me over the middle there's Mason Taylor Taylor's got the catch again debut next weekend in Tampa man to be able to play in the NFL that's what I'm most excited about look who's lose it's John on Emory back at LSU and the former highly talented High School running back who's head up Jones y Holly tone thank you that was awesome to hear from him but what a good job here getting up field by Emery waited patiently for the box to clear and then right away be is able to get North and South with that speed and what a great job to see him you know he had the ACL last year against Florida's worked his way back and you know they need running back you back to Emory why not Emy slamming inside the 20 he's got an LSU first down it would [Applause] appear thr he's got Aaron Anderson Anderson has a pass to the end zone and LSU is back on top late in the Third on these third and shorts to cushion which opens up in man coverage a quick out the timing is perfect by nus but after he makes this throw watch the collision by two USC Defenders I mean there's a chance there very very good chance that he's not going to get to the end zone maybe a chance to try to keep him short of the first down but after the ball is thrown nice ball nice catch and then the two Defenders run into each other makes it very easy by four hey big little trickery and the ball's on the ground and man oh man as USC fortunate to come up with that as Elijah pige was 11 in motion Moss throwing the glass finds McCree and late McCree who's had some big plays tonight makes the graamam Jordan Allen the Blitz the linebacker on one side see his eyes kind of looking out this way what a call by Lincoln Riley and then SLI the tight end right behind him so the action of the receiver lemon draws the eyes of the defense practice came back quickly so good to have the pads on he's made an impact tonight boy boss is feeling all kinds of heat and how in the world did he get that in there jacobe Lane with a grab it's off they brought 40 again on this blitz and he gets in clean well I thought he'd at very least get a hand on this he's falling backwards to make this throw and he splits the corner and the safety to big number eight it's that last carry second and six pressure off the edge ball batted High into the air still up there and Diving for it and almost intercepted this is with these backers so they bring Perkins they bring Penn and then wac off the edge keep they keep trying to put Mason Murph like she trying to isolate him and you think it might have been four down territory but into the back field to make the stop is wit weeks and now it'll be fourth and long and it may still well be four down territory but now it's a difficult fourth down and right now SC needs nine yards on fourth down in LSU territory Moss fires and it's battered away again and this time whoa he intercepted I'm not sure he controlled it Whit weeks again had it in his hands and it was stripped away and continue to be who he is and Trust his players brings that Blitz Savon Thomas eventually Savon Jones eventually came free to knock it Loose it looked like weeks had possession just for maybe a step or two that's that's going to be the question here Kirk inally he could be a superstar and just continue to get more and more reps [Applause] that's Meer on second down fires underneath they've got it complete and out there to a tight end there very high on camor on pimpon [Applause] clayon the em he is hit in the back field and he didn't get there both of these defenses standing up and making stops in the fourth quarter which would give the Trojans or LSU another stoppage should they need it Miller Moss back to work firing got Kiren Hudson Hudson into LSU territory inside the 45 just went over 300 yd for the night he's trying to give his team the lead pressure off the edge but they get loose it's Woody Mars Mars bouncing off tacklers inside the 30 and down to about the 28 yd line another explosive play for the Trojans inside the 30 free play right caught major Burns off Sid Moss going to try to make him pay throw to the end zone he's got it touchdown jacobe Lane [Applause] because he put it up in over the receiver let him run underneath it it's a heck of a Joba using his body by jacobe Lane there and then pushing off late because the ball's thrown over that outside shoulder gets that late separation for the touchdown what a throw by Moss with last year the toss and keep it on the ground has a big big hit from the Trojan defense sto him short of the first down these defenses play clock getting on top of him nus Meer gets it off needs to pick up the first down here he's got a wide open Anderson and he's into USC territory Aaron Anderson knocked down inside the 30 and nme comes up with a huge play to Aaron Anderson and takes away Mason Taylor that's what look at nme he's looking right here he wants to throw Heat's taken away no problem keeps his Poise looks backside and then eventually and 10 back Fields empty El Meer stands in fires to the outside and the catch is made by xaven Thomas for a first down look at it here did his upper body land does he have possession while that right foot is down elbow down that's you think that's that's catch Billy it looks like to me elbow down you said elbow down quickly you got yeah first of all the back foot was down inbound what I when he first started to control secondly even if that wasn't he came down with the elbow first after further review the ruling on the field is confirmed first down just as we thought in a sizable third down Trojans have one Red Zone stop against LSU the opening drive of the game can they get another flag flying nzme throwing and ball is broken up intended for Kiren Lacy illegal shift offense number 18 and number two the penalties declined brings up fourth down it looked like Kiren Lacy to me was on the way and right down the strip here in Las Vegas and we are tied at 20 147 to go first half similar time at the easy completion out to Mars marks up across the 25 to the 30 he'll be stopped there Clau continues to run not doing anything crazy here LS you would like to get pressure but keep everything in front of them they're able to do so but that'll be a first down just call that green line down about the 36 where he needs to get it Zachariah branch is open now Branch goes down a little bit short of the first down Mark [Applause] defense they'll run the ball and get the first down he tried to do that in the first half to stop the clock and they did I'm sure they're thinking see if Moss can make up for it throws back to Kiren Hudson who smartly Steeps out of bounds with 22 seconds to go second down in 15 got to get it into field goal range Moss throwing to Hudson Hudson takes a big hit but he got the Hut What A Catch again that's two spectacular catches and there's a flag down this may put them right on the doorstep for field goal range of it's targeting the result of the play is a first down personal foul targeting Defense number two the previous players under a further review 15yd penalty automatic first down he just likes to make the crazy catch make it hard he likes to make that crazy catch we saw man he's made two big catches now they called targeting of course they're reviewing it replay officials to make sure that it stands after further review the ruling on the field of a catch is is stands the ruling on the field of targeting is confirmed number two is the fight for the remainder of the game half the distance to the goal automatic first down he's a transfer from Georgia Southern Woody marked might make it a move point and he does talk about all the field goals and Woody marks rumbles into the end zone and USC is on top with 8 seconds to play He follows the tight in and instead of being able to fill that hole it still would have been a nice gain but it wouldn't have been a touchdown so he eyes in the back field good job at the left side predominantly pregna on that left guard just drilling down in that big powerful LSU defensive 55 to 60 yds away from the line of scrimmage nus me throws an interception and that's how it's going to end Mason Cobb picks it off and the Trojans will have a victory in what a way to Christen USC in the Big 10 intercep and with a victory over Ella here in Las Vegas
