Really, what more can be said about the Greatest Upset Ever?
You know the story: in 2007, Stanford beat the dominant USC Trojans on their home field, 24-23, with a backup quarterback... as the biggest underdogs of all time.
10 years later from USC’s perspective, it’s an embarrassing thorn in their side. 10 years later from the Stanford perspective, it’s perhaps the single most important moment in program history. The Greatest Upset Ever helped launch the almost-unbelievable turnaround of a the Stanford football program. Consider all that’s been accomplished: the three Heisman contenders and dozens of high draft picks, the three conference championships, three Rose Bowl appearances (with two wins), one Orange bowl victory, and eight straight bowl games.
