The powder puffs obscuring the USC football season finally cleared Saturday night to reveal the Trojans' true appearance.
Still hard to tell with those black eyes and busted nose.
A mirror was finally held up to one of the allegedly prettiest teams in college football and the reflection was flat ugly.
This wasn't Arkansas State. This wasn't Idaho. This was Stanford, and this was a street fight, and the Trojans simply couldn't hit back enough in a stunning 41-31 loss to the Cardinal at a Coliseum that is echoing boos.
Stunning, because this was the Cardinal team that couldn't even score a touchdown in an opening loss to Northwestern.
