That was a very good football game and the tailback for Oregon St is a good football player. He did that against arguably the best defense in the country. He’s tough. USC lacked some mental toughness though and it showed. They played from behind as if they were panicked and had a serious lack of compusure. McKnight was not relevant to the game at all and Sanchez couldn’t pick up his team when it was needed. Sanchez is a pro and is a gifted football player but it didn’t show last night. That interception he threw with 3 minutes left really sealed the deal for Oregon st and showed a sign of weakness for USC. What Oregon St did better than anyone could expect was control the ball. They were able to really run the ball and keep that offense on the sideline. If the game went another quarter I could see USC winning by 2 touchdowns but they didn’t and should be out of the National Championship race. Losing 1 game is usually the kiss of death for a PAC 10 team but not for an SEC or BIG 10 team. This year will be a little different because Ohio St got killed by USC so they need to be ranked after USC no matter what in my opinion.

Anyway, it was the best thursday night game I’ve ever seen.
