Stanford Upsets #2 USC in Stunning Match

ESPN - Stanford brings USC's 35-game home win streak to end - NCAA College Football Recap

I'll admit I'm not the most ardent fan of college football. I know when my team (UNC, but not even UC!) plays, but seldom against whom unless my parents or local alumni club tell me. I do, however, know a huge game when I see one or hear about it.

The University of Southern California, better known simply as USC, is one of the most formidable clubs in all of college football. For years they dominate the rankings. Their stadium in considered one of the toughest for a visiting team to play in. A recent star, Reggie Bush, won the Heisman Trophy (highest honor in college football) and went on to start a great career with the New Orleans Saints. USC hasn't lost a home game in 6 years. Guess who beat them last?

Stanford! Please read the article for the rest of the drama in the game. It's really quite astonishing. Almost, almost as good as Appalachian State beating Michigan earlier this year. Just read both articles and give a cheer to the underdogs.
