ight losses to FBS opponents by Kansas after losing to Oklahoma State

LOS ANGELES -- Southern California shrugged off its dismal September with a stellar freshman quarterback and a revived defense.Sam Darnold passed for 352 yards and three touchdowns in his first home start, and USC emerged from its rough start to the season with a 41-20 victory over Arizona State on Saturday night.JuJu Smith-Schuster caught seven passes for 123 yards and a career-high tying three TDs for the Trojans (2-3, 1-2 Pac-12), who emphatically avoided their first 0-3 start to conference play since 2001 with a blowout of the previously unbeaten Sun Devils (4-1, 1-1).When adversity hits, it reveals your character, USC coach Clay Helton said. The character of this team is something Im very excited about.USC racked up 34 consecutive points to take a 41-6 lead during the middle two quarters, and Smith-Schuster scored on catches of 5, 3 and 67 yards. Justin Davis had a 37-yard TD run among his 123 yards rushing for the Trojans.This is where the new season starts, Davis said. Whatever happened in the past is the past. We still have one of the best teams, and Im glad we could show what we can do tonight.Arizona State lost starting quarterback Manny Wilkins shortly before halftime when he was hurt while getting sacked by Rasheem Green. Wilkins watched the second half on crutches with a walking boot on his left foot, but coach Todd Graham provided no postgame information on the injury.After averaging 48.8 points in their first four games, the Sun Devils didnt reach the end zone against USCs inspired defense until Brady White threw a 13-yard TD pass to Raymond Epps with 8:37 to play.Im proud of our team for finishing hard, but we cant put ourselves in that situation, White said.BIG SAMDarnold was confident and exciting in front of the Trojans home fans, rushing for a 3-yard score while going 23 for 33 with no interceptions. A week after replacing Max Browne as the Trojans starter, the redshirt freshman quickly infused excitement into the Trojans inconsistent offense, showing off his big arm and elusiveness while going 23 for 33 with no interceptions.BIG PLAYUSC extended its lead to 34-6 when Smith-Schuster caught a short pass and crisscrossed the field while going to the end zone untouched early in the third quarter.THE TAKEAWAYArizona State: The Sun Devils came crashing back to reality with this embarrassment, and Wilkins long-term health could be an even bigger problem. They struggled to move the ball with either quarterback, and the defense was thoroughly overmatched -- not for the first time this season, either. Arizona State has work to do.USC: Just in time, the Trojans put together a comprehensively strong performance against a quality opponent. Their talent repeatedly shone through, and Darnold injected confidence and fun into a sometimes tentative team. USC still must scrap to get back in the Pac-12 race while keeping Heltons job safe, but the Trojans are in position make a run with three of their next four games at home.UP NEXTArizona State: The Sun Devils return to Tempe to host UCLA. They beat the Bruins in Pasadena last year.USC: The Trojans stay home to face surprising Colorado, which jumped to 4-1 with a blowout win over Oregon State.
