Since 1922, the Stanford Cardinal and the USC Trojans have faced off on an annual basis (missing a few years here and there). Unfortunately for the Cardinal, it has been quite the one-sided affair.
The Trojans hold a 56-21-3 record against Stanford and amazingly, have only lost eight games on the Farm. USC has two 12-plus game win streaks against Stanford, which greatly shows how these contests tend to tilt.
While the Cardinal still post a losing record when this game takes place in Southern California (16-23-1), it appears that Stanford relishes being the road underdog.
Quite honestly, they always seem to have a better chance of coming out with a victory in this series away from Palo Alto.
This weekend’s match-up in the Los Angeles Coliseum will be the 84th game played between these two teams and the first time since 1992 that both teams come into this game ranked by the AP poll.
Despite the Trojans' dominance in this long-lived series, there have been several memorable games that have stuck with the fan bases of both teams throughout the years.
And while finding out just what happened in these historical games was no easy task (I can't remember the last time I used Microfiche), I did my best to grab a wide range of games that truly made an impact in this series (whether I was alive to watch the game or not).
Hope you enjoy the list!
