MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -With the offense sputtering against another inferior opponent, USC eschewed the glitz and glamour that were hallmarks of its high-powered machine earlier this decade.
Instead, they went to a power running game to out-muscle and outlast Minnesota in a 32-21 victory on Saturday.
With three talented running backs and an offensive line that prefers road grading to pass blocking, the Trojans may have found their offensive identity in the Twin Cities this weekend.
Allen Bradford rushed for 131 yards and a score and the Trojans racked up 216 yards on the ground with 38 attempts.
Coach Lane Kiffin says he would like to see the hard-nosed approach become USC’s personality as they prepare to open the Pac-10 season against Washington State.
