They did it in 2006 and they want to do it again. Tonight the Oregon State Beavers have a chance to dethrone the monolith that is USC football. The number one ranked USC Trojans football team will play the Beavers in Corvallis, and the Beavers will have recent history working for them, as well as the mentality of everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Back in 2006, USC fell down to an early deficit as the Oregon State Beavers defensive and offensive units fired on all cylinders. Though USC rallied back and scored with only 7 seconds left in the game, the Beavers’ secondary swatted down the 2-point conversion that would’ve tied the game. Ultimately, Oregon State beat the then-number 3 Trojans 33-31. Neither side has forgotten it, and each side wants to make a statement tonight.

It will be a bigger game for the Beavers, however, as they sunk to an early 0-2 start losing to both Stanford and Penn State before winning last week against Hawaii. If they can defeat the powerful USC program, it will do wonders not only for their national ranking, but for their spirits and momentum for the rest of the season. The game starts at 9:00 ET.
