There had been lots of speculation that USC and Pete Carroll in particular were sick of the talk coming from Westwood last week. UCLA’s delusions of grandeur coming from last year’s “close call” where USC had 7 trips inside the red zone and only came away with 5 field goals. Very un-SC-like.
Saturday was an opportunity to make a statement–in no fucking way is the UCLA program close to USC.
66-19 was that statement–keeping the Bruins from even getting inside the Trojan 25-yard-line until garbage time.
This is the seventh consecutive victory over the cross-town punching bag. And the 4th blowout in 5 years. UCLA NEVER blew out the Trojans in their streak of 8 consecutive over USC (and that was when USC wasn’t USC).
