Longhorns Upset USC, Take Lead in Pac 12 South

The #5 Texas Longhorns went into the LA Coliseum and defeated the 3rd-ranked USC Trojans 27-24 in week 5.

Texas kicker Steve Schott drilled a 33 yard field goal as time expired to defeat the Trojans for the second consecutive year. The victory puts Texas back in the driver's seat for the Pac 12 South crown with big games coming up against conference foes Washington and Oklahoma.

On the game's last drive, with the score knotted at 24-24, Texas Coach chrishicks21 gambled and barely converted a 4th and 7 play that kept the Longhorn drive alive near midfield.

USC committed 3 turnovers which led to 10 Texas points. The game was a frustrating one for Trojan Head Coach utvol27, who was witnessed drowning his sorrows with a mega bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the USC locker room after the game.

Texas' success hasn't been limited to the field either. This week, the Longhorns secured 3 big commitments in recruiting, including the nation's top CB and a five star RB. Looks like the talent in Austin is going to be around for years to come.
