USC 37, Washington 10 (12:45 left in third quarter)
It might not turn out to be a shootout, but the second half has started that way.
USC tailback Curtis McNeal answered Washington's quick score with one of his own.
The junior broke off the left side and ran 79 yards for a touchdown. Washington safety Will Shamburger appeared to have McNeal in his grasp at the 20-yard line, but McNeal slipped through his grip to complete the scoring play.
McNeal has rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown in 15 carries.
USC 30, Washington 10 (13:36 in the third quarter)
Looks like the rout. . . .
Wait a minute.
USC's Marqise Lee returned the second-half kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown.
The freshman receiver looked like he might be stopped when he ran into a pack in the middle of the field, but he broke toward the right sideline and then outran the Huskies to the end zone.
But Washington came right back, Keith Price connecting with receiver Kevin Smith on a 50-yard pass play to set up Chris Polk's one-yard touchdown run.
USC 23, Washington 3 (halftime)
USC's defense has been impressive in the first 30 minutes at the Coliseum.
The Trojans, led by end Nick Perry, have limited Washington to 91 yards.
Perry has two of the Trojans' four sacks and has been a force against the run.
