Pete Carroll responds to Neuheisel calling timeouts in garbage time with a Harbaugh-style, rub-it-in TD pass to make it 28-7 with :44 left.
RT @TrojanWire Remember when you could call USC a second half team? | Or a good team?
USC 7, fUCLA 0 at halftime. Not exactly an inspiring performance thus far.
Hard to believe, four games ago, Notre Dame was 6-2 and eyeing a BCS bid.
Irish finish 6-6 for second straight year. “If you think they hired me here to go .500, you got the wrong guy.” –Charlie Weis, 2004
Lots of Heisman talk on ABC. Toby Gerhart vs. Notre Dame 2009 = Carson Palmer vs. Notre Dame 2002?
Stanford wins, 45-38, thanks in large part to two huge sacks during ND’s final drive. Weis ends his Irish career with 4 straight losses.
Charlie Weis’s last major decision as Irish coach: allowing opponent to score an uncontested TD. A fitting end. (ND threatening, though.)
ND “lets” Stanford score TD so Irish offense can get ball back with 0:59 left. Probably smart, but not exactly a vote of confidence in D.
Stanford ties it up, 38-38, on halfback TD pass by Toby Gerhart + 2-pt conversion. 8:59 left. Meanwhile USC leads fUCLA 7-0, early 2nd Q.
