As we say goodbye to the Pac-12, it’s hard not to feel a sense of nostalgia and reminisce about the glory days of USC. When we think of the Trojans’ best moments, we naturally think of their Rose Bowl wins, national championships, and victories over rivals like Notre Dame and UCLA. But let’s not forget about USC’s memorable victories against other Pac-12 schools as well.
One such team is Washington State, which USC has faced many times over the years. Three wins stand out for USC against Washington State – in 1929, 1932, and 2003. The 2003 win was particularly memorable as USC went on to win a national championship under coach Pete Carroll after defeating a strong Washington State team that season.
Even back in 1929 and 1932, USC managed to come out victorious against Washington State despite the Cougars having impressive seasons. The 1929 and 1932 wins were significant for the Trojans, showcasing their dominance even against tough opponents.
The 1932 USC team holds a special place in Trojan history as the first unbeaten team coached by both Howard Jones and assistant coach Sam Barry. Both Jones and Barry played a pivotal role in building USC’s football program and athletic department, leaving behind a lasting legacy that is still celebrated today.
In conclusion, as we remember the great moments of USC football against each Pac-12 school, it’s important to pay homage to the legacy of this historic program.
