As the lists continue to proliferate, we continue to tirelessly report them. The latest is Jon Wilner’s, in which he breaks down the best Pac-10 performances of the past 20 years. Former Trojans make a respectable showing, at #8 and #1:
8. Keyshawn Johnson, USC: It’s not easy to identify Keyshawn’s best performance during his dominating 1995 season. But his 12-catch, 216-yard game against Northwestern in the Rose Bowl was, given the setting, nothing short of brilliant.
1. Reggie Bush, USC: In the greatest individual performance I’ve seen, Bush set a Pac-10 record — and recorded the second-highest total in NCAA history — with 513 all-purpose yards against Fresno State in 2005. He ran for 294 yards, returned kicks for 135, caught passes for 68 and returned a punt 16 yards. He had 10 plays of 20 yards or more, which is sensational for a quarterback, unreal for a running back. If you didnt see it, find it and watch it.
Also showing up is Aaron Rodgers’ ridiculous 23 consecutive passes (one for each position he dropped in the following draft) against USC in 2004.
