Cody Kessler-led USC blows out Fresno State in Las Vegas Bowl Cody Kessler realizes Southern California could have quit on this season after the Trojans' first head coach was fired. Or after their second head coach resigned. Or before their fourth head coach in less than three months took over. The quarterback and his Trojans simply stuck together, no matter who happened to be in charge. That tenacity got them a blowout win over a BCS contender in the Las Vegas Bowl -- and the confidence that USC is back on the rise after a roller coaster of a season. Kessler passed for a career-high 344 yards and a bowl-record four touchdowns in the Trojans' 45-20 victory over No. 21 Fresno State on Saturday night under interim coach Clay Helton. read more http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=333550030
