I told you I wasn't sold on USC

Back in August, I wrote:

But this is also the same Southern Cal program that, over the last couple of seasons, has developed an uncanny knack for losing games it shouldn't; see Oregon State and UCLA and 2006 and Stanford (!) last season. Will Pete Carroll's team get tripped up by an inferior opponent again this year?

Now we know the answer. Although I wasn't expecting it to happen this early in the season.
