USC leads the series 12-9-1, with the teams first meeting in 1937. The teams played last year, and USC won 35-3. We all know what happened in that game. The teams last played in Columbus in 1990. In that game USC won in Columbus, 35-26. OSU last won in 1974 in the Rose Bowl 42-21. Six of the games have been decided by a touchdown or less. OSU is 50-23-2 against the teams in the PAC-10, having faced all of the teams in the conference at least twice.
As of today the forecast is good weather, but earlier this week rain was predicted, which brings up discussion of the 1990 game. That game was cut short with 2:36 left on the clock due to lightning and thunder. OSU was down 21-10 at halftime but came back and scored with 2:38 remaining in the game to put it at 35-26. The coaches had discussed the weather and Coach Cooper agreed with the head ref that if OSU didn't recover the on-side kick, the game would be over. USC recovered the kickoff and the game ended with USC winning.
