Okay, so you score with 72 seconds left, and you think you have it made...
As someone on Saturdays says: Not so fast my friend...
Stanford's Andrew Luck set up Nate Whitaker's game-winning 30-yard field goal, giving the Cardinal a 37-35 victory and giving USC its second straight last-second defeat.
The HQ can't help but chuckle...
The loss dropped USC's record to 4-2 overall and 1-2 in the Pacific 10 Conference.
"We're at the lowest of the lows," USC quarterback Matt Barkley said, "and it's very tough because we were at the highest of the highs just two weeks ago."
It marked the first time since 2000 that Stanford defeated the Trojans at Stanford Stadium. And it marks the first time since 2001 that USC has lost two games in a row.
"We are so close to being good," Coach Lane Kiffin said, "but we are not there yet."
Mike Patrick had the pleasure of calling this one...
The HQ especially likes the Death Glare From Lane at, about the :30 mark...

TWTW: Oregon Gives USC Their Annual Pac-10 Loss 47-20
((HT: KVAL-TV/Eugene))
The tenth-ranked Oregon Ducks beat the USC Trojans 47-20 in front of a record crowd at Autzen Stadium.
The Ducks piled up 613 yards of offense against USC, and had their way against a steady but shaky Trojans' defense. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli finished 19 of 31 passing for 221 yards and one touchdown, as well as rushing for 164 yards on 13 carries and another score. Running back LaMichael James ran for a career-high 183 yards and a touchdown, consistently splitting the gaps between USC's defensive lineman.
Freshman quarterback Matt Barkley said before Saturday's match-up that the crowd at Autzen wouldn't bother him. And even though Barkley had a decent game, finishing 21-38 for 187 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, the Trojans' team as a whole never looked comfortable.
It was the worst loss by a Pete Carroll-coached team at USC...
This is what happens every year, like clockwork, somewhere in that part of the world.
And it's also what happens when you let Jeremiah Masoli loose, and you can't find the Oregon running backs...
Here's your postgame wrap, Nick Krupke got to do this one indoors...
