The Ducks and Trojans meet

More than any other opponent
Oregon has ever faced, Carson
Palmer knows Autzen Stadium.
And better than any Oregon oppo
nent, Palmer knows what it’s like to
lose to the Ducks.
USC’s fifth-year quarterback will
make his fourth appearance on the
Ducks’ pond Saturday in search of
his first victory against Oregon.
“We’re a different team than we’ve
ever been before when we played
(Oregon),” Palmer told the Los An
geles Times. “We’ve gotten so many
penalties at that stadium and have
had so many dumb things happen to
us. We’ve just got to do our stuff and
win the game.”
Those wins at Autzen have been
hard to come by lately for the Tro
jans. Despite owning a commanding
33-15-2 all-time record against the
Ducks, Mike Bellotti’s teams have
won four straight meetings.
USC’s last win in Eugene was
in 1993.

ings have been predictable, though.
In fact, four of the last five meet
ings have been decided by four
points or less — which has created
some bad blood.
That, in part, likely has to do with
the fact that Oregon has so many
players from Southern California
who want to beat their home school.
Prior to this season, Oregon added
fuel to the rivalry when it posted a
840,000 billboard — of receivers
Keenan Howry, Jason Willis and
Sarnie Parker, all of whom are from
Southern California — just a few
blocks from the USC campus.
Suffice it to say, the Trojans were
not exactly pleased about the
billboard.
And last year at Autzen, several
Ducks and Trojans were involved in
a pregame scuffle during warm-ups.
Like the off-field jabs, the play on
the field has also been exciting and
memorable in recent years.
Jared Siegel, then a freshman,
drilled a 32-yard field goal with 14
seconds left to cap off Oregon’s 24
22 fourth-quarter rally last season.
The Ducks were able to start that
drive, which started at the Oregon
