History, Stats and Numbers
USC and Stanford have a long lopsided history, but recently they have been at each other’s throats. You can thank Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll for that. The Trojans and Cardinal once again meet, though only for the second time since the introduction of the Pac-12 Championship Game (Stanford beat USC 41-22 in 2015). It is also the second time these two teams meet this season with USC punishing Stanford early in the season. Do not expect the same beat down with the conference tittle on the line.
