Stanford Beats USC 37-35 On Whitaker's Kick
STANFORD (AP) -- Nate Whitaker made up for a missed extra point by kicking a 30-yard field goal on the final play to give No. 16 Stanford a 37-35 victory over Southern California on Saturday night.
Whitaker missed his earlier kick after Stanford's fifth touchdown and that was the difference in the game before Andrew Luck calmly drove the Cardinal (5-2, 2-1 Pac-10) down the field to set up the first game-winning kick of Whitaker's career.
Robert Woods caught 12 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns and Matt Barkley threw for 390 yards and the three scores for the Trojans (4-2, 1-2), who lost for the second straight week on a field goal in the final seconds. USC lost 32-31 at home to Washington last week.
