The plot

If anyone is ever going to stick it to USC, it had better be now, boys, while the inexperienced Trojans groom their next set of stars. Ninth-ranked Cal is the one team that can do it. The Golden Bears have playmakers all over the field. They have excellent coaching, and they play with confidence against the mighty Trojans. Be aware that USC has several future All-Americans on that depth chart. Some of them even play defense.

“Cal's secondary is the best in the West. Oregon and Oregon State have top-10 offensive lines.”
