A new entry in the lexicon
I was reading the guide to "Stuff Orange and White People Like" on EDSBS, as one does, and was overjoyed to see this first comment about Charles Woodson winning the Heisman over Peyton Manning:
In this sense, "USC'd" focuses more on a team / group pummeling, as opposed to the individual focus of "Maualuga'd" - which has evolved from referring to damaged frat member noses to supine opposing quarterbacks. +
Ladies and gentlemen, I am giddy at the prospect of using the neologism "USC'd" to indicate a beating of epic proportions. I plan to start using it at every opportunity... e.g., "Sure the Germans and Japanese started strong in WWII, but they were USC'd in the end," or, "Back in the day, VHS USC'd Beta++"
Obviously this should be used either for beatings which had a net positive (e.g., the end of Nazism and the Asian Greater Co-prosperity Sphere) or for ironic purposes. Use of the word in reference to bad beatings, such as police brutality, is less desirable.
+ Prompt recovery from being Maualuga'd is referred to as "Cowan-ing."
++ For any youngsters reading, this is a reference to competing formats of magnetic tape used to record analog video images for subsequent viewing during the 1980s and early 1990s. Linear access and the inability to record multiple data streams in parallel were common to both formats.

I watched Knight Rider . . .
Beta. Indeed. They were once the rage down in Chile.
USC'd? That's going into my lexicon right as we speak. Let's hope Scotch doesn't USC me tonight. Again. Yesterday's April Fool's celebrations got a little outta hand last night. I'm still burping some peat moss breath from near or around the Isle of Man in Scotland.

Didn't see it at the time
Entertainingly, the people who are posting video of that game are all K-State fans who were putting these up a year or two ago, talking about K-state's "annual" thrashing of USC. Apparently winning a home and home series, followed by seasons of 11 - 4, 4 -7, 5 - 6, 7 - 6, and 12 - 1 make them the obvious alternative to USC. I mean they did have a better record last season, after all.
