USC 48, Arizona 41 (final)

It was a day for records but not for defenses.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley passed for a school-record 468 yards during the Trojans' 48-41 victory over Arizona on Saturday afternoon at the Coliseum, with receiver Robert Woods collecting 255 of them on the way to his career high.

The teams combined for a whopping 893 passing yards -- and 1,136 total -- and if it wasn't for two first-half interceptions by USC's T.J. McDonald, Arizona could have easily emerged with a victory.

Arizona quarterback Nick Foles completed 41 of 53 passes for 425 yards and four touchdowns and was outplayed by his counterpart; Barkley was that impressive. The USC junior completed 32 of 39 passes with four touchdowns and one interception.

The Wildcats actually rushed for 129 yards, 15 more than the Trojans. That's a stunning development considering Arizona had struggled mightily to move the ball on the ground before the game.

Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Arizona momentarily made a game of it after Nick Foles connected with Austin Hill in the back of the end zone on a four-yard touchdown reception.

But the Wildcats couldn't recover the onside kick and USC will run out the clock.

The teams have combined for 893 yards, by the way. Where's a defensive coordinator when you need one?

USC's defense got the stop it needed and now the Trojans are near midfield attempting to run out the clock.

It won't be a memorable day for the Trojans' defense. Besides safety T.J. McDonald's pair of first-half interceptions, Arizona has pretty much driven at will against USC.

Matt Barkley now stands alone atop the USC single-game passing chart.

The junior broke Carson Palmer's record of 448 yards with a 25-yard completion to Brice Butler that gave Barkley 453 yards. Trojans running back Curtis McNeal then scored on a nine-yard touchdown run to restore USC's two-touchdown edge over pesky Arizona.

Barkley has completed 30 of 36 passes for four touchdowns with one interception. A stop by the USC defense would likely seal the outcome.

It's shaping up as one of those games where whoever has the ball last is going to win.

Arizona continues to have its way with the USC defense on drives during which Nick Foles doesn't float a pass into the Trojans secondary. Foles just connected with Juron Criner on a 12-yard touchdown pass that has again made it a one-touchdown game.

The Wildcats defense has stopped USC only once and is going to need to come up with at least one more stand to help its team draw even.

The fourth quarter got off to a rousing start for USC, with quarterback Matt Barkley connecting with Marqise Lee on a 45-yard pass that gave the Trojans a first and goal at the Arizona one-yard line.

Officials initially ruled that Lee's leaping grab was a touchdown before reviewing the play and giving USC the ball at the one.

Barkley then plunged into the end zone on the next play to put the Trojans back in control. Barkley has completed 28 of 33 passes for a career-high 427 yards, the second-highest total in USC history.

Arizona's offense kicked into high gear after its defense finally got a stop.
