Like so many USC games of yore, the Trojans’ opener at the Coliseum on Monday was won by the team that overcame a second-half deficit, put together a back-breaking fourth-quarter touchdown drive and wore down its opponent.

This time, though, the winning team was not USC.
Memphis State, guaranteed a reported $300,000 to play and considered a sacrificial lamb, instead stunned the Trojans, scoring three unanswered touchdowns in the second half of a 24-10 victory before 55,637.

....

Memphis State drove 97 yards in 18 plays to open a 17-10 lead on a four-yard pass play from Benton to fullback Jeff Bynum, who was alone in the left corner of the end zone.

“Coach told us to pound the ball, pound the ball and eventually the ice would break,” Benton said. “And it finally did.”

Memphis State win over USC stunned the Trojans, scoring three unanswered touchdowns in the second half of a 24-10 victory, Coliseum, Los Angeles CA - Circa 1991

If he kept the ball and got outside on the edge, forget about it. I wish he had been here four years so he could’ve been developed more, but he had a pretty good run in the CFL. Great guy.

I remember the Bama game we had one last shot, we were coming back and Keith was passing and running taking us down the field. If Stobart would have called a time out so he could catch his breath I think we may have won or tied that game.

That Bama game was the first college game I played in. Lost by 3.
