Another team very close to my heart has pulled off an upset, though one that was probably a bit more unexpected than Notre Dame thwomping UCLA. Stanford upset #2-ranked USC at its LA Coliseum, ending a 35 game USC home win-streak.

The game roughly paralleled the ND victory. The Trojans put up 459 yards to just 235 for Stanford.

Like UCLA, Stanford wasn’t playing with its starting QB (because of a seizure).

The game came down to an early extra-point attempt by USC’s Buehler being coldly denied by Pannel Egboh.

USC was only up 9-0 at halftime and was booed off the field.

USC led 16-7 going into the 4th.

The Trojans had 459 yards of total offense, compared to 235 for Stanford. That was pretty similar to UCLA vs. Notre Dame, but again turnovers proved critical.

Details of how Stanford got up 24-23 are scarce, but you can see this Youtube video showing the last sixty seconds with some mildly annoying commentary by a drunken Stanford fan.
