Oregon State Surprises USC Trojans
The USC Trojans lost on the road to the Oregon State Beavers on Thursday night football.
They lost to an unranked team that didn't even have a shred of hope to defeat these rock stars of football.
This was no last second comeback or triple overtime nail biter.
The Beavers were up by 21 at the half! I repeat 21 at the half! As I watch this I thought to myself what did the Trojans lay down and die? There is always a reason for upsets but this seems to be an insane one.
They were running the ball all over this ferocious defense.
They have a tiny running back named Jacquizz Rogers.
Who?? He had over 180 yards rushing and two touchdowns! Sometimes it appeared to be fate for the Beavers as they basically had a tipped ball go right to their receiver instead of the defense, this lead to their third touchdown before the half as time was ticking out.
The Trojans ending up trying to comeback but it was too late.
The Beavers had already stolen the game with an interception in the fourth quarter.
Pete Carroll basically admitted he was outplayed.
Maybe he didn't game plan for Mighty Mouse the running back.
Despite this Mark Sanchez, quarterback of the Trojans still had 3 touchdowns and didn't play a horrible game.
He only had one interception.
Their defense and running game just sputtered out before they could jump-start it.
I believe this loss will drop the Trojans to at least 11th or 12th in the rankings.
They will not be playing for a national championship since they have such an easy schedule the rest of the way.
I think Notre Dame could win most of the games left on the Trojan's schedule.
Even if they win the rest of their games the voting committee is almost obligated to put in someone with a tougher conference.
Even the Big Ten might be tougher at this point.
One announcer at the USC game the week before had been saying this was "the best USC team (he'd) ever seen".
He won't be repeating those words this year.
We also won't be seeing another typical USC Quarterback win the Heisman.
The PAC-10 is horrible this year and will not send any team to the National Championship.
It is most likely going to be a Big 12 and a SEC team in the Big Game and you can quote me on that.
