Just when it appeared UCLA was in charge, USC roared back Saturday at the Rose Bowl.
Then when the Trojans built a double-digit lead, the Bruins said not so fast.
There was a slobberknocker underway in the second half of the battle for the Victory Bell in Pac-12 play.
The Trojans had three drives after halftime and scored a touchdown on each.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson wasn’t about to let the Bruins be counted out.
Trailing 41-31, he threw a 55-yard TD pass to Kazmeir Allen less than a minute into the fourth quarter.
