STANFORD, Calif. — Even without Andrew Luck, Stanford still has every answer for Matt Barkley and Southern California.
Josh Nunes threw a go-ahead 37-yard touchdown to Zach Ertz, Stepfan Taylor ran for 153 yards and scored two touchdowns, and No. 21 Stanford upset second-ranked USC 21-14 on Saturday night for its fourth straight win in this series.
Heisman Trophy hopeful Matt Barkley threw for 254 yards and two interceptions while completing only 20 of 41 passes. He was sacked twice on the final drive for the Trojans (2-1, 0-1 Pac-12) and threw out of bounds on a final, desperate heave on fourth-and-39 from USC's 25-yard line.
The Cardinal (3-0, 1-0) are 3-0 for the third straight season for the first time since 1970-72, and have their longest winning streak ever against the Trojans.

Once again, the teams to beat are Stanford and Oregon...two teams not on Utah's schedule.
I can't believe the luck of the Utes. Now capitalize it.
What happens if Oregon beats USC and Utah runs the conference table except a loss to USC? Utah does not play Stanford or Oregon.
According to ESPN, the Stanford game doesn't hurt USC's chance for a South Division championship. More..
Cowboy Dude, you are correct. An 8-1 team would be division champs over a 7-2 team, regardless of which division the respective teams lost to.
