Southern California and Stanford will have the 103rd chapter of their venerable rivalry Saturday night at the Coliseum.
LOS ANGELES -- The rivalry began in November 1905, when Stanford spoiled the University of Southern California's very first football game outside the southern end of the state by beating the Methodists 16-0.
It's the final meeting for the foreseeable future between two private schools with a rich history, a healthy dislike and many shared attributes — but no longer a shared conference in 2024. "This is why you play college football," Stanford right tackle Connor McLaughlin said."All the early workouts, all the time invested, all the sacrifices you have to make – 7:30 p.m., prime-time kickoff, rivalry game, packed house. That's college football."
"I think that's what college football is all about, is those battles and those rivalries that have been going on for hundreds of years," Taylor said."I think it's really cool, and I know the fans appreciate it." 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.
