Last year Jacquizz Rogers of Oregon State must have had close to 200 yards rushing in leading the Beavers to their upset win over SC (he also had over 100 yards rushing this year against SC).

This year tailback LaMichael James had almost 200 yards rushing, and teammate Jeremiah Masoli (another virtual RB playing QB) had over 150 yards on the ground in Oregon's Halloween beatdown of the Trojans.

Out of curiosity, I looked up how Toby Gerhart has fared against USC in previous years: last year, he rushed for 101 yards in a game which the Trojans won handily; the year before when Stanford upset USC, he didn't play; and in 2006 he had just six carries for five yards.

Wow, you really tracked those game a lot more closely than I did... :bow:

Al I know is that I'll be rooting for any team that plays 'SC. :mrgreen:

Well, with the absolute dearth of decent dorama in recent years, there's more time to do other stuff.

Even Notre Dame? :hehe:

Everytime a Pac 10 team beats USC is a good thing imo . . . and so is every time USC beats a major power outside of the conference. Not nearly enough respect for Pac 10 football nationally which is a shame.

Yup.

I'm hot and cold with Notre Dame: I've liked their tradition and Montana made me a big fan... But I'm not a bit impressed with Claussen or Weis... When they're gone, it'll be a good thing for ND. :victory:

Niners intercept Jay Cutler five times, including the final play of the game and beat da Bears, 10-6. :rofl:

Yeah, I saw that. They're not going anywhere with him.

Maybe he'll do a Kurt Warner and throw five TDs in the next game. :mrgreen:

Whoa.... Stanford smokes USC, 55-21. :hehe: :rofl:

Stanford's Toby Gerhart rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns.

yeah, what bowl will they end up in now?

Toilet Bowl. :hehe:

The vaunted 'SC defense gave up 27 points in the fourth quarter. :shocked:

Florida over South Carolina 24-14. Every time I see Florida they never have a great game. What makes them better then Alabama or Texas, to be ranked 1.

Depends on the polls... Some have Texas as Number One.

Holy cow. Congratulations to Stanford on that big win. Jim Harbaugh has really turned around that program. Wonder if Michigan would consider him down the line despite what has been said in the past.

I'm happy that Ohio State won, but I have to feel a bit nervous considering they did squander a 24-10 lead.

It helped tremendously to have a punishing bull of a running back in Toby Gerhart. :victory:

They'll probably end up losing in the Rose Bowl game like they always seem to do...

They've disappointed me enough to where I wouldn't be surprised if they lose. I can see a team like Oregon just running all around and over Ohio State. It's too much to ask the defense to hold their ground and play a conservative game. At this point a Rose Bowl berth is good enough, and I'll just have to hope somehow, someway Ohio State becomes an offensive juggernaut :beaten:

I'm bummed to see that Fresno State got ran over by Nevada, to the tune of 462 rushing yards by the Wolfpack, in a 52-14 loss :puppydog:

Yeowch. :sweat:

UCLA wins the battle of Pac-10 cellar dwellers, routing Washington State, 43-7. :woot:

Bengals defeat the Steelers in a defensive battle, 18-12. :victory:

Broncos are going into their second half of the season fade, losing to the Redskins, 27-17. :shakehead:

Cowboys lose to the Packers, 17-7. :victory: :woot:

It'll be a perfect football weekend if the Colts beat the Pats. :fingerscrossed:
