Sixty three seasons after my first SC football game, tonight they played a game which will live in my heart for many years to come.
The Trojans showed tonight that, despite the NCAA's best (and corrupt) effort to dismantle the program, some things are sure...
the sun comes up in the east...water is wet...cream rises to the top, and USC football is what most of the college football world tries to emulate.
I'm not too sure where you start in discussing tonight's win at Oregon, but maybe you should begin with the team's aggressive approach and unwillingness to give in.
Playing in front of a very hostile crowd, with the home team striving for a final BCS berth, SC literally took the fight to the Quacks from the get go. Only that ill-timed handoff with 2 minutes to go gave Oregon any chance to win.
Now we can safely put to bed all this premature (and parochial) talk about an UO dynasty, about their impervious coach, about the noise at Autzen and about their ridiculous uniform changes. Heart and desire matter most...just ask the guys who represent the school with more NCAA championships than anyone else.
I'm not too sure I can add more at this point. This elderly graduate is fatigued but very very happy.
Fight On!!
