1997 Florida State vs USC first half

LOS ANGELES, CA - The fifth ranked Seminoles opened the season far away from home, traveling to No. 23 USC for a nationally televised ABC game against the Trojans. Florida State brought a very young squad across country as 41 of the 80 players who traveled had never played in a college game. FSU's defense smothered the vaunted USC running game limiting the Trojans to just 25 rushing yards, but it took a heroic 97 yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter to give the Seminoles a 14-7 win. Florida State's only first half touchdown was setup, fittingly, by the defense which sacked USC first time starting quarterback John Fox and forced a fumble at the Trojan 41. Four plays later the ball rested at the USC one and Dan Kendra, who replaced Thad Bushy at quarterback for the Noles near the goal line, dove over for the score with 7:42 left in the first quarter. USC's only touchdown of the night came in the second quarter after FSU mishandled a punt snap and had it blocked at their own 30. Fox drove USC to the two yard line and on fourth and goal, he ran it in to knot the score at seven with 13:42 left in the half. Florida State's game winning drive started on its own three with 13:28 left. After two straight incompletions, Bushy connected on five of six passes to drive the Seminoles to the USC three. Dee Feaster raced around right end for the score and the 14-7 win. Busby was 19 of 39 for 276 yards but no touchdowns. The Seminoles managed just 89 yards rushing led by Feaster with 74 yards on 16 carries. USC had just 184 yards of total offense.
