Players usually congratulate each other after a game but Cal wide receiver DeSean Jackson and USC cornerback Terrell Thomas were yelling at each other on the field in an extraordinary display.
Thomas was part of the USC defense that limited Jackson to two catches, which he reminded the talented receiver after the game.
“There was nothing good being said at all, Jackson said. “He was telling me I only had two catches but he had a linebacker and safety helping him on me. He cant talk. I had two catches when they played zone.
Jackson waved to taunting USC fans as he went up the tunnel to prove he was not deterred in his feelings. He then went to USC linebacker Brian Cushing in the tunnel and said, “Tell (Thomas) to shut up.
Thomas offered a different view.
“He was talking the whole game and I didnt say a word the whole game, Thomas said. “I voiced my opinion at the end of the game because he was talking every play. Plain and simple, he had two catches. All week, hes been talking.
