SAN FRANCISCO — Zach Maynard’s introduction to the Pac-12 has been anything but friendly.

The transfer from Buffalo threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in California’s 30-9 loss to Southern California on Thursday night, sending the Golden Bears to their eighth straight defeat against the Trojans.

The series has been decidedly one-sided ever since Cal upset USC 34-31 in triple overtime back in 2003. The Trojans have run away from the Bears since, outscoring Cal 125-29 the last four years.

Matt Barkley threw two touchdown passes and USC took advantage of five turnovers by California.
