Well that game gave the fans their money's worth. We spotted USC a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, then set about climbing back in. Most of the game, we trailed by 14 or so, the offenses trading scores. Late in the fourth, we cut their lead to 63-56. We force them to punt, drive it deep into their territory. Inside their 5 with a minute or so left, we decide we need to kill the time on the clock. We run sideways on first to make them burn a timeout. We don't want to kick it to them, because their returner has killed us all day. On second down, we try to burn another USC timeout. (I think it was their last, but possibly only their second.) Our man gets stopped going wide, but doesn't go down immediately, and he fumbles. USC recovers, runs it back 10 yards, and fumbles, but they fall on the ball. Game over. Heartbreaking after a thrilling comeback.

We've got some issues to work out before our rematch. GG, EF.
