Well, the USC-UCLA football rivalry just got a lot more interesting.
With USC up by two touchdowns and less than a minute to play, UCLA called timeout even though the Trojans had the ball and the Bruins had no chance for a comeback.
Probably Rick Neuheisel’s way of teaching his team to compete until the clock runs out.
USC Coach Pete Carroll and play-caller Jeremy Bates then responded by going for a touchdown. On the next play, quarterback Matt Barkley faked a handoff into the middle of the line and threw a 48-yard bomb to Damian Williams for a piling-it-on touchdown.
