I'm an alum of the late 80's - early 90's, and my favorite moment against USC came in 1989, when USC's Boy Wonder quarterback came to town.
Scott Kowalkowski, one of our OLB's, and a fearsome hitter, took Todd "Marijuanavich" Marinovich to the woodshed after Marinovich engaged in some trash talking.
Marinovich got whacked pretty hard by Kowalkowski while trying a 3rd down pass late in the game, and threw a wounded duck.
Seeing Marinovich having a hard time getting up after that hit still puts a big smile on my face. :)
I've attached the link to the plays that should brighten up everyone's day. I mean it.
