Behind a slew of highlights by Drake London, USC runs over Colorado 37-14…
Drake London was a human highlight reel in USC’s victory over Colorado on Saturday, proving he’s one of the most dynamic playmakers in college football.
Steve Henson (LA Times) — Drake London (15) strengthened his reputation as the nation’s most dangerous receiver, making several acrobatic, game-changing plays in USC’s surprisingly one-sided 37-14 win over Colorado on Saturday at Folsom Field in Boulder.
London made a leaping catch for a big gain on the Trojans’ first scoring drive and made a similarly athletic catch to set up another first-half score – his own on a one-handed catch in the end zone.
But he wasn’t done. London finished a 17-yard pass play by leaping over a defender, keeping his feet and driving for several more yards, setting up the Trojans with a first down at the Colorado eight as the third quarter came to an end.
London, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound junior from Moorpark High, finished with nine catches for 130 yards. He entered the game leading the nation with 540 yards and was tied for the lead with 39 receptions.
Credit quarterback Kedon Slovis with getting London the ball. Slovis completed 19 of 29 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns. In addition to London’s score, Slovis found Michael Trigg on a 53-yard score and hit Gary Bryant Jr. from 17 yards.
USC improved to 3-2, rebounding from an embarrassing defeat at Oregon State a week ago.
