USC coach Pete Carroll revealed a concern about playing UCLA this week in the season-finale.
“Im not concerned about a letdown but I am concerned it is the last game of the year, Carroll said. “Weve had some close games two years ago with UCLA and a few years back with Oregon State (in 2003).”
That Oregon State game turned out to be a 24-point victory although Oregon State did take a 7-0 lead, which probably is what Carroll remembers about the game.
