LEFT - Mike Yoder utilized the Ducks RPO to perfection in the 2nd half as the JR only missed on one pass while tossing two late TD passes to seal the victory.
CENTER - Andre Bender was under constant pressure as the Ducks brought constant pressure without the threat of the Trojans usually dominant running game.
RIGHT - Brayden Hilliman put on a show usually reserved for PJ Shembo, rushing for 108 yards and this touchdown.

Los Angeles, CA. - The formula on how to beat the Trojans is out, shut down the rushing attack and watch the offense wilt under the pressure.

Now the question is, how many teams have the personnel to accomplish that task? So far, only the Oregon Ducks after they beat the Trojans at their own game in an eventual 38-14 shellacking at The Coliseum.

The Trojans came into the contest averaging a staggering 237 YPG on the ground, but were held to their lowest total of the season with a mere 63 yards against an Oregon defense that has been maligned all season.

Andre Bender started out the game like the undefeated two time National Champion he is, tossing two touchdown passes as the junior completed 8 of 13 passes as he lead the Trojans to a 14-13 halftime lead.

The wheels started to come off late in the 1st half after Bender struggled going 1/5 on the final drive before tossing his 1st INT of the game to set up the Ducks FG as time expired in the half.

Instead of being a blip on the radar that could be chalked up to pressing as the half wore down, the struggles turned into a full blown storm that completely sunk the Trojans offense.

What Trojans fans hoped was a small blip on the radar turned into a full blown storm after Bender's 2nd interception turned into a defensive touchdown before numbers 3 and 4 set up both of Mike Yoder's passing touchdowns in an eventual 38-14 Oregon victory. Bender would finish the afternoon with a 47% completion percentage after going 14/33 to finish the contest (including the last drive in the 1st half) with two touchdowns and four interceptions.

"The passing attack has been pretty inconsistent all season, but we've had the rushing attack to lean on when we had too. Today we didn't have that and it showed," admitted Coach Red after the game.

To the Ducks credit they had the perfect game plan to attack a typically aggressive USC defense, albeit one that is used to playing with a lead, as they used a combination of RPO, hurry up, and a surprisingly punishing rushing attack to score on all but three drives during the contest.

While their win streak may be snapped the season is far from lost for the Trojans, who still sit at the top of the Big Ten at 9-1 with a "trip" to UCLA and a home contest against the Fighting Irish remaining on the slate.

With the loss USC moved into a threeway tie with Purdue and Michigan with the trio all having 1 loss in conference play. If USC drops their final Big Ten game to the Bruins, they're likely looking at a scenario where they miss the Big Ten CCG for the 1st time since Coach Red's inaugural season in Los Angeles. Aside from potetnail Conference Championship game implications its also the first time that former OC Matt Cassel has coached against his alma matter. Former coordinators have yet to win against Coach Red (0-4). Look for USC to try and establish their vaunted running game once again after struggling to a mere 64 yards on the ground in the loss to Oregon last week.

LEFT - UCLA was on the verge of taking an early lead before this errant throw by Jimmy Luna was intercepted on the goal line.
CENTER - It did not take USC long to capitalize on the goal line INT with Terrance Vaughns finding the corner with the jet sweep for an 89 yard touchdown one play later.
RIGHT - DE Sergio Gray with the statement sack to end the 59-0 beat down.

Pasadena, CA. - "It doesn't feel too good from this side," lamented Bruins HC and former Trojan OC Matt Cassel when asked about his first matchup against his alma mater.

The USC Trojans looked ready to remind the nation who they were after last weeks embarrassing loss to 6-3 Oregon. The Trojans would score on three of their first four possessions with a defensive touchdown thrown on top for a 28-0 half time lead.

The Trojans used a balanced attack to keep UCLA off balance to start the contest and build their 28-0 hafltime lead (10 rush, 12 pass), but once they took the field in the 2nd half the emphasis on the running game was apparent as the Trojans added another 250 rushing yards to the 89 they had already accumulated for a staggering 339 total rushing yards.

"I think we all kind of put the blame on ourselves after last weeks upset," revealed Heisman contender PJ Shembo.

"I know the media wanted to point to Andre's struggles, but if we're doing our job and churning out yards then the defense isn't keying on him."

Shembo rush for 179 yards while reserve and #2 Heisman contender Manny Velaso would chip in another 114 while the duo combined for 5 touchdowns on the ground.

The Trojans win coupled with the shocking upset of the Michigan Wolverines (31-24 vs Indiana) means the Trojans have clinched their spot in the Big Ten Conference Championship Game for the 8th straight season.

Southern Cal will "return" home for next weeks contest against the #17 Notre Dame Fighting Irish who will be looking to end the season on a positive note after their loss to Tennessee this weekend. The Fighting Irish will need a win over USC and a lot of help if they have any hope of making the CFP Playoff this season.

Tough loss to the Ducks, but it's good to see that the CPU can still find ways to beat you.. 41 games straight wins is impressive... I think my longest was like 28...

Nice bounce back win over the Bruins though. Still got to think Bender is really rethinking this whole staying thing though. It's hard to find a balance where you want to get a RB his stats but at the time time throwing the ball 16 times can't be fun for a QB.

I have to wonder if the fact that Maddux Madsen won the starting job this past season for BSU plus the fact that BSU has already shown even after Jeanty is gone the RB stable is pretty solid next year with Dubar and Gaines, so maybe he felt it was best to move on. I also don't think it helps that BSU is most likely going to be looking at a new OC as Dir Koetter has said multiple times he is retiring..

I feel if Bender did have another year it might not be with USC.

I feel if Bender did have another year it might not be with USC.

His draft stock never would have been higher if he had declared last season, but now the question is how much were his playmakers making him better rather than the other way around? But on the other hand his receivers aren't doing him any favors. Collectively they have 25 drops on the season, if those were all completions he's sitting at 72% rather than 62%.

Personel wise we leaned heavy into the run too once Shembo and Velasco went off in the 1st two games the gameplan turned towards them exclusively.

Bender is a 90 OVR after progression this season, so my guy tells me he will declare for the draft. But if this was RL, I heavily suspect he would be hitting the portal to improve his draft stock as a passer

While the Trojans a merely playing for pride, the Irish are fighting for their playoff lives after last weeks upset by the Tennessee Volunteers. With no conference championship game to lean on this is the Irish's last chance to make a lasting impression to somehow sneak into the CFP despite sitting at #17 currently. The last time the USC Trojans lost to the Oregon Ducks, back in 2028, was also the last time Notre Dame claimed a victory against USC. They're hoping history repeats itself as they once again try to join the Ducks as the only teams to knock off the Trojans this season.
