That was a great game, very close just like I expected. Came down to the final possession. I have to give it to Oregon though, I think they are the best in the Pac-10. And if they win out, could find themselves in the title game.
One thing I liked in this game about our team were our receivers. Turner had his best game as a Trojan, Hazelton and Ausberry were money with their catches. They have been dropping balls all season long, but none in this game.
Questionable playcalling by Sark. What the hell are you doing running an end around on 4th and 1 inside the redzone. WhAT THE HELL WAS THAT? We threw when we should have been running and we ran when we should have been passing(final drive).
The key to this game was penalties and turnovers. 6 USC penalties to Oregon's 1, the most notable ones were the holding call that took back a McKnight 50+ yard touchdown(this dude is amazing) and the personal foul call on our first possession that took us out of the redzone. Not to mention the 15 yard face mask on the punt return that made us start from the 17 yard line instead of the 32 on the final drive.
Looks like our run of 5 straight Pac-10 titles are over. Sad day in Trojan land.
