Live scores, highlights and updates from the USC vs. Arizona football game

Through 3 Quarters

Only one more quarter stands between the USC Trojans and the victory they were favored to collect going into this night. It's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Arizona Wildcats as USC lead 38-21.

The Trojans have been riding high on the performance of RB Keaontay Ingram, who has rushed for one TD and 117 yards on 19 carries. Arizona has been led by WR Tayvian Cunningham, who so far has caught two passes for one TD and 108 yards. This receiving effort made it the first game that Cunningham has posted more than 100 yards receiving.

This is the most points either team has accured going into the fourth quarter this season.

What to Know

The Arizona Wildcats and the USC Trojans are set to square off in a Pac-12 matchup at 7 p.m. ET Oct. 30 at United Airlines Field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The Wildcats were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 21-16 to the Washington Huskies. Arizona was up 13 to nothing at the end of the half but couldn't hold on to the lead. QB Will Plummer had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw two interceptions with only 2.85 yards per passing attempt.

Meanwhile, USC received a tough blow last week as they fell 31-16 to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. USC was down 24-3 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. RB Keaontay Ingram put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for one TD and 138 yards on 24 carries.

Arizona have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 21.50 point spread they are up against. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last Friday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

The losses put Arizona at 0-7 and the Trojans at 3-4. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Wildcats are 249th worst in the nation in thrown interceptions, having thrown 13 on the season. USCs have had an even harder time: they are stumbling into the contest with the 211th most thrown interceptions in the nation, having thrown seven on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
