USC coach Pete Carroll said you can’t change the way you play in blowout and was mindful of last week’s incident involving Washington State.
At Oregon State, Beavers QB Sean Canfield, a former starter now No. 2 because of a shoulder injury he’s coming back from, threw a 39-yard pass into the end zone for the last TD in a 66-13 victory, which upset the Cougars.
Coach Paul Wulff wouldn’t comment, but cornerback Romeo Pellum said of coach Mike Riley, “He has no class.”
Riley said he meant no disrespect and explained that he wanted to get Canfield a couple of throws (it was midway through the fourth quarter), and the play was a corner route on which Canfield checked and went deep.
Two weeks ago, Oregon coach Mike Bellotti criticized USC when Mitch Mustain threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to David Ausberry at the end of the game.
