 [Game 2006] Rivalry, rivalry, rivalry... :
With a sold-out crowd of 90,622 holding its collective breath, the linebacker stretched his arms and cradled the ball for an interception that gave UCLA a stunning 13-9 upset over the second-ranked Trojans in the 76th meeting between the cross-town rivals.
With a swarming defense, a just-good-enough offense led by quarterback Patrick Cowan and two field goals by Justin Medlock, the Bruins ended seven seasons of USC domination and knocked the Trojans out of an expected date with top-ranked Ohio State in the Bowl Championship Series title game.

These teams have been to the Rose Bowl 41 times, 29 for USC and 12 for UCLA.
Almost annually for a half-century one or both of the
teams went into the rivalry with the Rose Bowl on the line.
The Trojans are 16-6 over the years when the Rose Bowl has been for the winner. Actually,
it's 15-6-1, but since USC went following the 1939 tie, it essentially
counts as a big-picture triumph for SC. |
