papicker- got a serious question for you.
You like to point out that USC beat Ohio State more soundly than PSU, home game for the Trojans, road game for the Lions.
How do you explain PSU waxing Oregon State 19 days before the Beavers beat USC?
USC beats themselves every year like that. USC is a team that likes high profile games. They play at ridiculously high levels when everyone is watching them on the big stage. When they aren't in high profile games, they have a bad tendency to let down and that is exactly what happened. After that lazy loss, SC came right back and dominated a super talented Oregon team 44-10.
