Read it..........for it did indeed happen:

For the first time since 1967, the Oregon State Beavers carved up a #1 ranked team. Oddly enough .......the team they beat in '67....was none other than the Trojans from Southern Cal...led by a running back named O J Simpson.
This game.....and the defeat of the seemingly invincible USC......has sent shock waves throughout the world of college football.
How did this happen? USC was a 27 point favorite.......they had a bye week........
Here's how.....USC opened the season with an impressive win over ACC school, Virginia. They then had a week off to prepare for 2nd ranked Ohio State.....and whipped the Buckeyes soundly.
Then.........USC had a week and a half........to read about how great they were.....maybe the best team ever.
And remember..........these are still 18 to 21 year olds.....
But about the game itself..........USC was out played, out hustled , out hit, out coached, and out manned. Oregon had more 1st downs, more yardage, and seemed they were the favorite from the start.
Oregon bunched the bully in the mouth..........USC........fought.........for a while........but ended up limping home to mommy .........
This seems to be an annual occurrence for the Trojans.....Last year, it was the lost to un-ranked Stanford.
The funny thing is ..........tomorrow.....against any of the top 10 teams in the polls.......USC would still be favored....go figure.......
