Drew Peterson - Steps up in Mobley's absencePeterson finished with 27 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, five blocks, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes Saturday in USC's 67-64 win over UCLA.ImpactWith star junior forward Isaiah Mobley (concussion, nose) missing a second straight game Saturday, the Trojans needed members of their supporting cast to step up against the rival Bruins. None of those players shone brighter Saturday than Peterson, who was lights out behind the arc and a menace in the paint on the defensive end in what was the best all-around performance of his career. Peterson will likely take a hit from a usage standpoint on the offensive end in the Trojans' next game Thursday against Washington if Mobley is cleared to return to action.
