USC Goes Down, Making West Virginia #3

Oregon State upset third-ranked USC, 33-31, before a rollicking crowd of 42,871 at Reser Stadium.

USC committed four turnovers which proved to be deadly in their loss to the Beavers.

"It's a great win for them and a very difficult loss for us because we were so hard on ourselves today," Coach Pete Carroll said. "I don't remember the last time we turned the ball over four times, probably the Cal game."

With the loss, West Virginia moved up to #3. This loss diminishes USC's hopes of playing for the national title for the fourth time in four years.
