Marcus Allen rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns as No. 1 USC squeaked past No. 2 Oklahoma, 28-24, in 1981. Of course, the play everyone remembers is QB John Mazur’s 7-yard TD pass to TE Fred Cornwell (below) for the winning score. Continue reading USC Picture Of The Night

We have a narrative emerging already that USC is a Final Four darkhorse. Andy Katz, the former ESPN reporter, picked USC as one of his five candidates (above).
