Southern California and Stanford will have the 103rd chapter of their venerable rivalry Saturday night at the Coliseum. This particular showdown is a melancholy moment.
“That’s just crazy, knowing the history of Stanford and USC,” Trojans defensive back Calen Bullock said. “It’s a big rivalry, and this is the last time, so we’ve got to go out and make it a good one.”
This rivalry is beloved among the graduates of these two well-heeled schools, both of which only admit people with incredible intellectual credentials — or incredibly deep pockets. Both athletic departments have expansive financial resources that make everything easier — from rebuilding an entire stadium in 10 months, as Stanford did, to making massive infrastructure improvements across campus while also paying top dollar for Lincoln Riley’s services, as USC is doing.
“This is our last conference game against Stanford, so we’re treating this like a championship game,” USC linebacker Raesjon Davis said. “We’ve got to do our jobs and come out with the dub.”USC beat its first two nonconference opponents this season by a combined 122-42 with an offense that looks just as dangerous as last season’s group — and a defense that has better players, but hasn’t yet shown it’s better than last year’s unit.
