Pretty annoying of USC to break out to a huge early lead (31-2 after 29 minutes) and deprive us of a particularly close overall game, then allow Cal to nearly come all the way back a) after I had stopped paying attention and gone to bed and b) allowing Cal to cover when F/+ had picked USC. Not cool, Trojans.
