While I was following the Mets-Cubs game (and then the Pirates-Brewers) on the internet, there was a football game played in Corvallis, Oregon.
No. 1 USC came to town and squared off against the unranked Ducks of Oregon State.
The final score was 27-21 in favor of the Ducks who went into the game 25-point underdogs. I'd say it was a major upset, except the same thing happened two years ago when the Ducks ended USCs long undefeated string. Granted, back in 2006 the Trojans were only ranked #3, but....
It was the Rodgers bothers that made the difference. Older, bigger brother James, caught two TD passes while younger, smaller brother Jacquizz hid behind the lineman and bounced off tacklers to rush for 185 yards and two TDs of his own.
The Ducks opened up a 21-0 halftime lead, allowed USC to score 14 points before Greg Laybourn intercepted a USC pass to set up a Duck's drive that ended in the final Jacquizz Rodgers 2-yard, TD run to make the score 27-14.
