#2 USC is a 10 point favorite against #1 Texas.
USC is the #1 offense and the #14 defense. Texas has the #3 offense and #21 defense. Funny how this is mirroring reality ... but our game takes place on Jan 1, not Jan 4.
USC covers the number, winning 42-28 to win their first title.
QB Sharpe goes 23-30 for 305 yards and 5 TD passes.
RB Cliff Neil (JR, splits carries with Vereb) missed a lot of the year with injuries, but was back with a vengeance in this game. 25 carries for 206 yards. I hope he goes pro as well ...
It appears the best thing to ever happen to USC was having me head across town.
Not exactly the start I was looking for in my "Down with the Trojans!" dynasty ...
