Next man up! Our backup RB, junior Mark Roberts, in for injured All-American Danny Clark, carried the ball 42 times for 239 yards and 4 TDs as he led us to a 34-31 win over Rob Bell and the Trojans. The game could have gone either way, but we came up with a couple more plays and were able to even up the all-time series against USC, 5-5. Doug Rivero had a nice day with a sack and a 100-yard kick return for a TD to open the second half. Our defense did a nice job of keeping Bell from putting up video-game numbers, as he finished 14 of 23 for 229 yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception. He gashed us a few times with his scrambling ability, but we held him to 56 yards on 4 carries.
These games are always nerve-wracking, EF. GG, and see you in the conference championship game.
