Oct. 3 at California W 30-3 Oct. 17 at Notre Dame W 34-27 26, 5 p.m. PST, AT&T Park, , Calif. Oct. 24 Oregon State W 42-36 Oct. 31 at Oregon L 20-47 THEMES Nov. 7 at Arizona State W 14-9 It’s a West-versus-East matchup in the Emerald Bowl as a pair of 8-4 teams—USC and Boston Nov. 14 Stanford L 21-55 College—battle the day after Christmas. It’s just the third meeting between the Trojans and Nov. 28 UCLA W 28-7 Eagles, and the first in 21 years (the teams are slated to meet again in the near future). USC, Dec. 5 Arizona L 17-21 which claims one of the nation’s top bowl traditions, will be making its 48th post-season Dec. 26 Boston College 5 p.m. (ESPN) appearance and its school-record ninth consecutive, but this will be its debut in the Emerald (Emerald Bowl) Bowl. The Trojans are unranked for the first time since the end of 2001, their last season in a th PAC-10 STANDINGS non-BCS bowl. BC, which is playing in its 11 bowl in a row, is the first team to make a return visit to the Emerald Bowl (it won there in 2003). USC—winner of its last 15 non-conference PAC-10 OVERALL games—traditionally has fared well in bowls, against the ACC, at night, in December and W L W L also in season enders. Troy rarely has played in stadiums with a diamond (this one ORE 8 1 10 2 is in 40,184-seat AT&T Park) and it’s an even rarer game for the Trojans in the city of San ARIZ 6384 Francisco. ESPN will show the game nationally; the first time USC ever appeared on ESPN OSU6384 was against BC in 1988. USC beat the teams’ only common 2009 foe, Notre Dame, while the STAN6384 CAL5484 Eagles lost to the Irish. After putting together a streak of 7 consecutive AP Top 4 finishes, BCS USC5484 bowl appearances, Pac-10 titles and 11-win seasons, the young, rebuilding Trojans had a WASH 4557 tougher go in 2009 while playing one of the nation’s toughest schedules (USC has lost 3 of its UCLA 3666 last 5 games). The Trojans’ up-and-down offense sports a trio of 2009 All-Pac-10 first teamers ASU2748 (WR-PR Damian Williams, OG-C and OT Charles Brown) and they are joined by the WSU09111 likes of true freshman QB and TBs Joe McKnight (1,000-plus rushing yards in 2009) and beefy Allen Bradford.
