1. Late-game heroics save the Trojans again

For the third time in five games, USC had to win a game coming from behind in the final minute and getting a go ahead touchdown.

Special teams plays and big plays from their stud wide receivers made this comeback possible and now USC is one win away from a Pac-12 championship and a possible undefeated season.

Nobody should mistake USC for one of the top four teams in the country, but it does say something that the Trojans are finding ways to win games even if it appears that they should not have. Clay Helton has his detractors (and for good reason), but it should speak volumes that his team will continue to go out and play their hearts out for him every Saturday and find ways to win football games.
