The Trojan hangover is alive and kicking.

For the third time this season, the team that beat USC followed it up with a loss in its next game after Stanford fell, 34-28, to California on Saturday. Washington and Oregon, the other squads that beat the Trojans this season, both lost to Stanford in their subsequent games after taking down USC.

Stanford’s loss is the sixth time in the last seven such circumstances that a team has been defeated immediately after topping USC, and the Trojan hangover trend spans all of Coach Carroll’s nine years with the Trojans. Teams are now 4-12 in games immediately after a win over a Carroll-coached USC squad (not including the two programs that beat the Trojans in a bowl game, since their next contests happened nine months later).
