Missed field goals by junior kicker Zane Gonzalez. It is just the second time in his ASU career that Gonzalez missed two attempts in the same game and the first time since his NCAA debut against Sacramento State.

Fumbles by the Sun Devils. Ball security has been a massive issue for ASU through four games, as the team is tied for 105th in the nation in turnovers lost. Four Sun Devil turnovers resulted in 28 Trojan points which made up the difference in the final score (42-14).

Third down conversion percentage by USC. The Trojans converted 10 of 16 third downs Saturday, many of which were third and long situations. By contrast, ASU converted just 38 percent of its third downs.

Receiving yards by USC sophomore wide receiver Adoree' Jackson. A force in every phase of the game, Jackson torched ASU for 184 total yards and made two tackles on defense.

Yards per carry for sophomore running back Demario Richard. Despite an overall negative feeling after Saturday's game, not all was bad. Richard continued to be his dominant self, but fumbled on the opening drive, leading to Trojan points.
