The energy in the Coliseum was palpable for the first time in over half a decade last week. USC’s (1-0, 0-0 Pac-12) amalgamation of off-season additions played greater than the sum of its parts against Rice. The Trojans scored more points in their 66-14 win against Rice than at any point in Clay Helton’s tenure as head coach. During their recent down years, USC has had several kryptonite opponents.
