I think about the 2012 victory over Southern Cal a lot.
I was at that game, sitting in the stands in section 3 surrounded by UCLA fans (and some Southern Cal fans, as you’d expect). The feeling leading up to the game was that the Bruins should be expected to win the game, despite years and years of incompetence and poor results, yet I can guarantee that most UCLA fans went into the game with a pit in their stomach, because you can never take a victory over Southern Cal as a given. Even as UCLA raced out to a 24-0 second quarter lead, you still felt that dread in your stomach, especially as the Trojans raced back to cut the lead to 4 early in the 3rd quarter.
