Pelle Larsson fed a streaking Caleb Love with a perfectly-placed bounce pass, who drove baseline and then dished to Keshad Johnson for an easy two-handed slam. It was the kind of beautiful basketball that made the Arizona Wildcats one of the best teams in the country for the first two months of the season.

Although Lincoln Riley was pleased by big plays and small improvements alike during No. 6 Southern California's second straight blowout win, nothing thrilled the head coach and his sideline more than the 23-yard fumble return for a touchdown by 275-pound defensive lineman Stanley Ta'ufo'ou. “When big people score, football is more fun,” Riley said with a grin. Led by their biggest star of all, the Trojans had another Saturday of fun while preparing for bigger challenges ahead.
Caleb Williams threw for 319 yards and hit Tahj Washington with two of his five touchdown passes, leading No. 6 Southern California to a 66-14 victory over Nevada on Saturday night.
