Morris fumbles on a pass play, USC recovers at our 19.
14 yard pass to King.

10 yard run for Toomer - crappy way for him to go out.
Rattay throws two incompletions from 2nd and 2 and we call in the field goal unit.

USC goes three and out. Why am I still watching this?
QB Derrick Fazande is killed on a blitz. I'm actually rooting for him to stay down.

I'm really proud of the heart our seniors showed out there today.
