USC leading Notre Dame 21-0 after first quarter

Los Angeles, Ca. - Cody Kessler threw three touchdowns at the Coliseum as the USC Trojans lead the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 21-0 after the first quarter Saturday.

USC outgained the Irish 209-34 in the first fifteen minutes as Kessler tossed for his 33rd touchdown this season.

Cody Kessler went 9-of-13 for 147 yards passing in fifteen minutes of error-free football for the home side.

USC (7-4) found the end zone on their second possession, an 80 yard voyage in 5 plays. Javorius Allen rushed over the middle for 15 yards on its first play and Nelson Agholor snagged a first-down pass.

George Farmer would sneak past Irish corner Cole Luke and race down the far sideline, hauling in the 48 yard touchdown reception from Kessler, trotting into the end zone for the 7-point lead.

Adoree' Jackson followed on the Trojans' next drive, a 2:01 scamper over 51 yards aided by a pass-interference call against Cole Luke when he pulled JuJu Smith on a route. 

Jackson raced out of the SC backfield, past the Irish linebackers unnoticed, and into the end zone where he came open for Kessler's 16 yard touchdown toss.

Farmer caught his second score in the game on what may have been the easiest route he ever ran.

With 43 seconds left in the opening session, he raced downfield untouched to grab a 31 yard touchdown for the 21-0 advantage.

His two receptions gained 79 yards in the quarter for the Trojans.
