USC against lowly 3-8 Boise State. Blowout, right? Not so fast my friend! We were cruising to that big blowout with a 21-7 lead early, but then Gilmore got smacked hard and had to leave the game with a concussion. Will that cost him the Heisman? Davis came in and promptly threw a pick to a defender that he didn't even see (the blue turf and blue uniforms are challenging!) With 3 turnovers in the half, Davis ended multiple drives and we were only up 28-21 at the half. Davis had another turnover in the 3rd to set up another TD. 28-28 and their QB was throwing for a lot of yards but also turning it over a lot. Davis finally stopped turning it over in the 2nd half and we did cruise to a 56-28 win, but that was much more tense than I thought it would be until about early in the 4th.
Despite the 4 turnovers, Davis won player of the game with 300 plus yards passing and 100 yards rushing.
Every team is set to advance!
