Here are some pix of the emerald bowl.

It was a cold and rainy night in San Francisco.  The band performed and sat with no cover.  I was one of the lucky ones who had a seat under another deck.

Allen Bradford pushes the pile.  Its nice to have a back with some strength who can hold on to the ball.  In my opinion this is our starter regardless if Joe McKnight returns.

One of the many plays where Bradford gets the ball and immeidately has 3 guys in his face.  Where is the O-Line?

Damien Williams catches another ball here.  

Stanley Havili's 2nd touchdown

I'm going to miss #18.

I love this picture.  Pete Carroll and Ken Norton seem too tight for Neuheisel to break up this friendship.  I guess you are a bruin for 4 years.  

Final scoreboard

Damien celebrating after the game

Damien making sure he goes in style.  He did a Lambough Leap into the stands to direct the band in "Conquest" after the game.  He delayed the trophy presentation by about 5 minutes while he made his way back to the field to claim his Offensive MVP trophy.  Good luck in the NFL Damien, and thanks.

Fun game.  Too bad it was the day after Christmas or there probably would have been more USC people there.
