USC picked one of the final games of the season to have one of the year’s best offensive outputs.

Senior running back Aca Cedrick Ware rushed for 205 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries to lead USC (5-4 ,4-3 PAC-12) to a 38-21 win over Oregon State.

Ware had runs of 57 and 62 yards for scores to lead a ground attack that racked up 332 yards.

“Its the O-line, every time the running game has been good its because of them” said Ware.

It was tailback U all over again as sophomore Vavae Malepeai also passed the century mark with 106 yards on 15 carries.

JT Daniels completed 14 of 26 passes for 177 yards. 

On the defensive side Isaih Langley and Christian Rector had nine tackles a piece to lead the Trojans who gave up 385 yards of offense.

Next up for the Trojans is Cal at the Coliseum Saturday night.
