14 plays and 6 minutes later, USC has their first lead of the game, surging ahead of the Buckeyes 18-15 with a touchdown and two-point conversion. Brent Musburger is drooling over freshman quarterback Matt Barkley, but it was the sophomore running back Joe McKnight who fueled the winning drive.

They did not, however, score enough points to win. One day, Jim Tressel will figure that out.
