FanHouse TrojanGameday

So much for our plan to follow the fan experience as USC marched to the BCS Title Game in New Orleans. If the Trojans played as they did Saturday against Stanford, a Hawaii Bowl bid would be a lofty goal--but at least some Trojan fans will be profiting from selling Boo-Tees. Yet despite the loss, FanHouse remains committed to bringing you a sense of gameday on campus--even if the tailgating was as uninspired as the Trojan football team!

The USC Trojans opened up their quest for a sixth consecutive Pac Ten title on Saturday, hosting the Washington State Cougars to a wet but spirited Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Just like the last two Trojan games, we were there to bring you the full pageantry of the day--and some insights on the game.

For once this season, the USC Trojans lived up to their "Leave No Doubt" slogan on their way to a 47-14 victory over the Washington State Cougars.

Heisman Candidate John David Booty lived up to the reputation, distributing the ball evenly among nine receivers while throwing for 279 yards and four touchdowns with just one interception. That tight end Fred Davis was his leading receiver shows that Booty was able to make progressions and check off receivers--something he seemingly had failed to do in previous games.

The Trojan running game was slowed a little compared to their 313-yard performance against Nebraska, rushing for but 215 yards. Nonetheless, USC was able to work in both Freshman Joe McKnight and sixth-year Senior Hershel Dennis late in the game and neither disappointed.

This week's edition of "Trojan Gameday" travels to Lincoln, Nebraska, where we seek to bring you the sights of Fandom from the 2007 USC Trojans' quest for the National Championship. Luckily, there was more than just going through the motions this week.



Of course, the Trojans brought the world-famous Song Girls to Lincoln, who we imagine were quite cold in the fifty-degree weather of late Summer in Middle America.
