LOS ANGELES (AP) — Robert Woods and Matt Barkley are closing in on two remarkable records at Southern California.

Even with the way Colorado’s defense has played lately, the No. 11 Trojans say they aren’t planning their celebration yet.

With its national title dreams still somewhat realistic, USC (5-1, 3-1 Pac-12) finally returns to the Coliseum for just its second home game in seven weeks. The Trojans are a 40-point favorite against the Buffaloes (1-5, 1-2), who have yielded more than 45 points per game since their season opener.

Midway through his junior season, Woods needs just five catches to surpass Dwayne Jarrett as USC’s career leader. Barkley needs four touchdown passes to pass Matt Leinart for the USC and conference career marks.

Woods says there’s no way the Trojans would take Colorado lightly.
