Utah @ USC

Final Score: 23-14

We flew out to Cali on Friday and got to our hotel by about 5pm, just enough time to go out to dinner with all the girls!  We went to CPK and had great food, which tasted extra good because it was all on my dad's tab (thanks pops).  I personally think our coaches married the best wives in the world... they are all so darling and so fun to be with.  I secretly want to be all of them combined into one.

I had made a goal to take pics during the game, but as it turned out, that didn't happen.  The game was high anxiety from the very beginning, since we went down 10-0 in the first quarter.  We had the worst possible seats in the corner of the Coliseum, right next to the most obnoxious band in America.  They had speakers blasting right in front of our faces, with one of their cheerleaders saying "Beat the Yewtssss" into the microphone with a one-of-a-kind, monotone voice with a lisp.  Did you know that was possible?  I didn't until I heard this guy.  "1-2-3 First down Tah-roganssss".  Over. And over.  And then my ears started bleeding.

Anyway.  Our defense fought hard and got some crucial turnovers, but it wasn't quite enough.  On the last drive of the game, where I lost 5 years off my life expectancy, we had some bizarre calls and replays that gave us a spark of hope, but it wasn't enough.  They blocked our freaking field goal to tie it on the last play of the game and that was that.  Goodbye to beating our first Pac-12 team and hello to being 1-1.
