What the heck. Here is a quick revisit of 2007 as well:

USC beats Idaho in their first game, 38-10. Last passing TD was with 11:19 left in the 3rd quarter. No scores by USC in the 4th quarter.

Against Nebraska, up 42-10 after 3, they don't pass at all in the 4th. Nebraska with 2 late TD's to make it a 49-31 game.

Maybe you can make a case against Washington State. They beat them 47-14 with a TD pass late in the 3rd and early in the 4th. However, they go conservative for the last 11:28 of the game and don't score again.

They barely beat Washington 27-24. They lose to Stanford 24-23. Then, they only beat Arizona by 7.

Next week, they beat ND 38-0 but they no passing TD's after midway through the 3rd. Only 1 rushing TD in the 4th with 9 minutes left.

They lose to Oregon the next week.

They beat Oregon State 24-3, but don't score the entire 2nd half. Pete pulls off the gas too many times for my taste, much more so than running it up.

They beat Cal 24-17 the next week.

They beat Arizona State 44-24 next and don't score the entire 4th quarter.

Next up is a 24-7 victory over UCLA. They threw a TD with 12 minutes left, but went conservative after that.

Finally, the bowl game against Illinois. I guess you might have a case here. Up 35-10, they threw a TD with 14 minutes left in the game. It was the 3rd or 4th string HB who scored the last TD on a running play as they beat them 49-17.

Where is the pattern of running it up?
