Our rundown of The 100 was preempted for a bit by Lestergate. But now that things have settled down somewhat, we thought we’d get back into reporting (and in some cases commenting on) USC’s appearances in college football’s “most iconic moments.” Next up, #57:

But the Trojans rallied, and when quarterback Craig Fertig completed a fourth-down, 15-yard touchdown pass to Rod Sherman with 1:33 to play for the 20-17 upset, the Irish dream of another national title had to wait two years.
