When things are clicking for the USC offense, it's one of the best units in all of college football. The Trojans were literally unstoppable for most of the first half against Stanford last week. USC's first five offensive possessions all resulted in touchdowns. But the Trojans couldn't muster much on a last-minute drive before half time, and then scored just six points over the final 30 minutes.
