The Numbers Don't Lie....



47 Most points given up in the Pete Carroll era and the most USC has given up since a 48-41 overtime loss to UCLA in 1996.

27
Largest margin of defeat under Carroll (previously was 11 against Notre Dame in 2001; previously largest Pac-10 loss: 7 points).

391
Yards rushing for Oregon, the most USC has given up since 1977 Bluebonnet Bowl vs. Texas A&M. USC had been giving up 79.9 yards a game on the ground.

613
Total yards for Oregon, the second-most in USC history (after 623 against Notre Dame in 1946).

1995
The last time Oregon played in the Rose Bowl. The DUCKS (5-0 in the Pac-10) have the inside track.

1
Time Oregon punted the ball. Every other possession was a score.

Duck games are my biggest reason for looking forward to weekends these days. It's been so exciting and just old fashioned fun. Beating USC, though, is like winning the lottery.

I have no idea what any of these numbers mean, but I love the picture. : )

Diane, I think it is AWESOME that you follow (and understand) football. Super cool. (Wait, did I just nerd myself out by saying "super cool"?) Happy gaming!
