It was a one-point game, USC trailing California in the final minutes of a Coliseum homecoming turned on its head, and many of the announced 56,721 alumni and fans were already heading for the exits.
With 3:28 left, Iman Marshall proved them right. USC had stopped the Golden Bears on third down and was set to get the ball back with a chance to win the game. The Trojans had made a statement by limiting California to fewer than 200 total yards in the game, but Marshall had more to say.
He approached the opposing sideline and jawed at the Golden Bears.
