Freshman Jacquizz Rodgers helped the Beavers pull off another stunner -- and Southern California was the victim again.Rodgers ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns, and Oregon State built a 21-point first-half lead before capitalizing on a late turnover and upsetting the Trojans 27-21 on Thursday night.
Those are not my words, but the words of the Associated Press. However, I loved every bit of it. I like it how every year the claim the Trojans are so good, so refined, so advanced that they could beat the Raiders, they could beat the Chief and so on. Well, maybe so, but they couldn't beat Oregon State last night now could they?
A writer for the Press-Telegram in Long Beach (can't remember his name) was publicly ridiculed for voting USC 3 or 4 in the polls a few weeks ago. He wrote an article about it. It's a great read and you should take the time to look it up. I remember him explicitly stating that it is incredulous to stamp the label "unbeatable" or "invincible" after two games into the season. The sporting world acted as if he was blind, deaf, and dumb.
I wonder what they will say now. Now even Ray Charles can see it and Stevie don't have to wonder. You'll get that when you get home.
