Ronald Jones just needed an opportunity to show he was still the running back that became Southern California's most prolific freshman rusher a season ago. Jones rushed for a career-high 223 yards, Sam Darnold threw five touchdowns passes and USC downed California 45-24 on Thursday night. Darnold threw for 231 yards, with Darreus Rogers making six catches for a career-high 97 yards, as the Trojans rolled up a season-high 629 yards of total offense.
