Less than two weeks ago, Southern California established itself as the country’s top team when it routed No. 5 Ohio State. Rekindling the magic of the glory years of Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush was short-lived and its national championship hopes are in jeopardy.
Oregon State stunned the visiting Trojans, 27-21, Thursday night for the first jaw-dropping upset of the season. The Beavers (2-2) turned the national title race on its ear and the reverberations can be heard in Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Missouri.
The Trojans (2-1) could not find a way to stop the 5-foot-6 Oregon State tailback Jacquizz Rodgers, who carried the ball 37 times for 186 yards.
He joked in a postgame television interview that the Trojan defenders could not find him because he is a “little dude.”
