WATCH: Calen Bullock takes pick six 92 yards for touchdown
The USC Trojans are having fun and having plenty of it early against the Rice Owls on Saturday night. Trojans’ safety Calen Bullock returned a pick six 92-yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Rice was in the red zone, but then a pass hit their receiver right in the hands, tipping it into the awaiting hands of Bullock, who took it the distance.
Check it out as he picks off the pass and takes it nearly the full length of the field for the score.
Bullock had been recently impressing in fall camp and caught the attention of Trojans’ defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. That touchdown put the Trojans up 28-7 with a little bit more than 8 minutes remaining in the second half. He’s clearly poised for a big year.
