USC 50, UCLA 0

[AP Game Recap] Matt Barkley passed for 423 yards and six touchdowns in his possible Coliseum farewell, Robert Woods set the conference’s single-season receptions record while catching 12 passes for 113 yards and two TDs, and No. 10 Southern California finished its resurgent season with a 50-0 demolition of Pac-12 title game-bound UCLA on Saturday night. Marqise Lee had 13 catches for 224 yards and two TDs during a showcase of offensive brilliance by the Trojans (10-2, 7-2), who are banned from postseason play under heavy NCAA sanctions. USC still went out in style, jumping to a 29-point... read more »

Next Up: UCLA at USC

No. 10 USC–coming off an impressive road upset over No. 4 Oregon–finishes its 2011 season on Thanksgiving weekend by hosting UCLA in the 81st meeting between the crosstown rivals. The Trojans would be a very attractive bowl team, but they are banned from post-season play for the second (and final) year because of NCAA sanctions. USC has lost just once in the last 12 matchups against UCLA and has captured the past 4 meetings. Troy’s last loss to the Bruins in the Coliseum was in 1997. USC has clinched at least a share of first place in the Pac-12 South Division, but the Trojans... read more »

USC 38, Oregon 35

[AP Game Recap] Matt Barkley threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns and No. 18 USC held off No. 4 Oregon 38-35 on Saturday night when Alejandro Maldonado missed a 37-yard field goal to tie the game with five seconds left. Trailing 24-7 in the third quarter, Oregon mounted a furious comeback and narrowed it to 38-35 with 7:05 left in the fourth quarter. Barkley led his team to the Oregon 15, but Marc Tyler fumbled and the ball was recovered by the Ducks with 2:54 to go. Oregon marched down the field but Maldondado’s kick, which was brought five yards closer because of a USC penalty, went... read more »
