U.S.C. came into the game with a # 2 ranking. This makes U.S.C. the highest ranked opponent that Stanford has defeated at Stanford Stadium since 1982, when John Elway led Stanford to a 43-31 win over Washington. The Huskies were ranked # 1 in the UPI coaches poll and # 2 in the AP poll at the time. That was 30 years ago. So we witnessed something rare last night at Stanford.
This U.S.C. team was the highest ranked opponent Stanford has defeated in any game, home or road, since the "greatest upset ever" in the Coliseum in 2007, when U.S.C. was ranked # 1 in the coaches poll and # 2 in the AP poll.
