Game Notes

#4 Trojans put away the #17 Bears in the 2nd half for a 23-9 win and their 5th straight Pac-10 championship.

Cal leads 9-6 at halftime after Nate Longshore hits Lavelle Hawkins with a 6-yard TD pass late in the 2nd quarter. However, USC ties it on backup kicker David Buehler's 49-yard FG in the 3rd quarter, and then pulls away in the 4th quarter on a pair of TD passes by John David Booty.

Booty goes 18-of-31 for 238 yards and 2 TDs, hitting Dwayne Jarrett with a 25-yard TD putting the Trojans in the lead, then adds a 37-yard scoring strike to Steve Smith.

Longshore is picked twice, and the Bears turn it over 3 times.
