With the momentum of this weekend’s victory and Cal’s perfect non-conference play, let’s go ahead and take a look at how our opponents stacked up this week.
USC 27, Texas 24
In the much-anticipated sequel to the 2006 Rose Bowl, USC managed to come from behind with less than a minute and push the game into overtime. The game eventually ended in the 2nd OT with a 43-yard field goal. If this game revealed anything in particular about a strong USC team it’s that defense is going to be incredibly important next week.
