USC led 37-7, but CU scored 22 points in the fourth quarter to come within 11 points with three minutes to go in the game. The Trojans’ offense was unstoppable, with running back Javorius Allen racking up 145 yards and three touchdowns.

The Buffs have one more game before the season ends, travelling to Utah next Saturday at 12 p.m. MST.
