For almost an entire year it was billed as this year’s version of “the game of the century.” With Matt Barkley deciding to return for his senior year, USC appeared to have the fast track to the Heisman Trophy and BCS national championship, the darlings of the off-season. Having defeated Oregon in Autzen Stadium last year, it was the Trojans …
October 25, 1997 Renowned Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum: deep in tradition, short on victories for past Oregon teams. In the previous 26 years, Oregon had only a single victory on Trojan Turf – the jumpstart their most improbable turnaround to the 1994 season en route to the Rose Bowl. Three years later, Oregon (coming off a great win over Utah) …
It was SUPPOSED to be the first real test for both teams, SUPPOSED to be either the next step towards a championship or validation for a new regime, SUPPOSED to be another typical Thursday thriller continuing the long-standing trend of upsets and nail-biters, SUPPOSED to be a lot of things.

There’s just something about Washington week, nothing stews the hate juices in fans more than the annual battle with the Huskies as a precursor to the Civil War down the road, ya know, that OTHER rival. Former players mark it on their calendar as the one to return back to Eugene for, never satisfied with beating UW enough both in …
Washington Head Coach Steve Sarkisian’s calling card since taking over up in Montlake for Tyrone Willingham has been that of a true oddity; leader of a team that stuns the nation one week, then look completely incompetent the next. He loses to teams Washington should have beaten, and manages to pull off huge upsets over programs that the Huskies have …
