TEAMS: Arizona Wildcats, USC Trojans, Oregon Ducks, Fresno State Bulldogs
Even great teams can't overcome five turnovers. Despite a record-setting performance by USC receiver Marquis Lee (16 for 345 yards and two touchdowns), the Trojans learned that lesson the hard way and watched any hope of a decent postseason evaporate in a mistake riddled loss to the Arizona Wildcats 39-36.Make no mistake, USC wasn't ever fielding a great team, despite some big time players. A loss to an Andrew Luck-less Stanford proved that weeks ago. Still, the Trojans appeared scrappy and appeared to have the athletic talent to go much further. Unfortunately, whether due to poor coaching (Head Coach Lane Kiffin clearly has not figured out how to call the plays) or to lack of discipline (the Trojans were called for 13 penalties for 116 yards), USC couldn't come up big when it really counted.The bottom line, was USC's defense, team saviors until this point, who suddenly couldn't even manage to preserve a 15 point lead at the start of the third quarter, giving...

USC dropped to 6-2 on the season after suffering an upset loss at Arizona, 39-36. Coach Lane Kiffin addressed the media following the loss.
USC Jersey Switching: Is Lane Kiffin Trying to Rile Up NCAA By Changing Trojans Uniform Numbers During Game?
USC Trojans head coach Lane Kiffin is many things. He is controversial, he is charismatic, he is enigmatic and he is a pretty good college football coach. But he is also pushing the envelope. I am afraid that he may have crossed the line in almost trying to rile up the NCAA by switching jersey numbers of players during a game against the hapless Colorado Buffaloes last week.

USC Trojans: Could Kiffin be fired?
I know, I know, it’s such a knee-jerk thing to say, and normally this is a rhetorical device in which I would set about disproving that this is a knee-jerk thing to say. Instead, I’ll just embrace it. The USC 39-36 loss to Arizona on Saturday was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.
But really, this whole season has been a disaster for the Trojans. They have been sloppy...

No. 9 USC must slow down explosive 'Cats
Matt Barkley threw 20 passes against Washington and looked dreadful. He completed just 30 percent of his passes in the second half. Head coach Lane Kiffin talked about how any quarterback wouldn't be happy by throwing just 20 passes.
What a difference a week makes.
Barkley threw the same amount of passes against Colorado last week, 20, but he completed 19 of them. Six were...
Rich Rod may be back: Arizona Wildcats upset Southern Cal 39 – 36
Rich Rodriguez and the Arizona Wildcats beat Lane Kiffin and the USC Trojans 39 – 36 today. The Wildcats were able to overcome a 28 – 13 lead that USC had just after halftime. They were also able to keep up with USC receiver Marquis Lee, who had a spectacular game and accounted for 55% of the Trojans total 618 yards.

Penalties finally catch up to Trojans
USC received a school record in passing yards from Matt Barkley at Arizona last Saturday, 493 yards. Marqise Lee had 345 yards receiving, which was fifth best single game total in NCAA history. His 469 all-purpose yards were the second most in NCAA history. Lee combined with Robert Woods to have 438 receiving yards which is the most in school history.
Flat out ridiculous numbers...
