USC hung on to beat Santa Clara 1-0.  Mick, did you watch?

I did.  Long story short, USC was more talented, played more aggressively.  Santa Clara had its chances -- they missed a 30 yard free kick by about two feet -- but they would have had to have few breaks to beat USC.  USC had many more chances, and it seemed like they had a corner kick about every five minutes.

At the same time, Stanford was breathtaking against Penn State.  The 21-1 Cardinal has to be the most exciting team I've ever seen.  Incredible talent.  World class defense.  Can't wait to see the BYU game.  SCU tied BYU 2-2, went to double overtime.  SCU scored twice, first -- and BYU got lucky with a loose ball in the box.  BYU is a good team, for certain, but I really like Stanford in this game.
