Rey Maualuga’s MRI came back negative according to John Jackson on FSN PrimeTicket. While he did suffer a minor sprain, there isn’t much swelling and he’s listed as day-to-day.

That’s a huge relief for USC. The all-everything middle linebacker was injured during Thursday’s upset loss to Oregon State. He was at practice on Monday but did not participate.

On the same show (Lexus Gauntlet Live), Petros Papadakis pointed out a curious stat … USC had a 27 game winning streak in the Pac-10 before playing Oregon State two years ago. Since then, they’ve gone 10-5 in conference.
