This week’s episode starts with the Trojans and their narrow victory over the Oregon State Beavers. It was an ugly game for USC and they almost lost, but a win is a win. It’s also nice this game was on the Pac-12 Network so no one saw how bad the Trojan offense played. That is, except for running back Travis Dye.

It was another embarrassing loss for USC at home.  Just like with their other losses this season the Trojans could not get anything going when it mattered on offense and the defense could not stop anything.
