A crowd of 106,033, the largest in Ohio Stadium history, were in attendance as the #3 USC Trojans came to Columbus, Ohio to face the #8 Ohio State Buckeyes. Both teams showed great defense with the game close at the half tied 10-10. After a safety and a field goal, Ohio State led 15-10 with less than five minutes to go. However, Matt Barkley and the Trojans drove down the field to score a touchdown and a two-point conversion to end the game. The final score was USC 18, Ohio State 15, with the Buckeyes losing to the Trojans for the second straight year.

Freshman quarterback Matt Barkley injured his right shoulder.

Last year the #1 Trojans went to Corvallis and were upset 27-21. It was the second straight to trip to Corvallis for USC that resulted in defeat. Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 187 yards on 37 carries and two touchdowns in the win last year. Oregon State was the first Pac-10 Conference school to have beaten USC twice during the Pete Carroll era, 2006 and 2008.

The last time Oregon State won against USC in the Coliseum was when Dwight D. Eisenhower was the President of the United States.

USC scored first when quarterback Matt Barkley passed to Anthony McCoy for a 8-yard touchdown. The Beavers got on the scoreboard with two field goal kicks from Justin Kahut (both 48 yards). In the second quarter, Matt Barkley completed a pass to Ronald Johnson for a 22 yards touchdown. On second and goal, Barkley rushed for a 1-yard touchdown for the Trojans. Kahut kicked a 33-yard field goal for Oregon State just before the half.

In the third quarter, Sean Canfield passed to Jacquizz Rodgers for a 6-yard touchdown for the Beavers on a 3:06-drive that took 8 plays for 61 yards. The Trojans countered with a 7-play drive for 70 yards with Allen Bradford rushing for 2 yards for a touchdown. Canfield narrowed Oregon State's gap by completing a 15-yard scoring pass to Damola Adeniji. USC answered with Allen Bradford scoring a 43-yard touchdown.

Oregon State became the first team to score more than 10 points on the Trojans in their last ten home games.

Stanford's 55-21 victory was the highest number of points any team had scored against a USC Trojans football team in the 121-year history of Trojan football.[7] The 34-point loss was the worst defeat USC had suffered since 1966.[8] This was Stanford's third victory against USC in their last five games against each other at the Coliseum (Stanford winning 2001, 2007, and 2009, with USC winning in 2003 and 2005), with USC having defeated every non-Stanford opponent in the Coliseum since 2001, going 47-2 since Stanford's September 29, 2001 victory in the Coliseum.[9][10] It was the first defeat in a November game for the Trojans under Coach Pete Carroll's nine-season tenure.[8] For the first time in since Carroll's first season, USC lost more than two games in one season.[8] For the second time in three weekends, Carroll suffered the worst loss of his USC tenure (the other being the Oregon game).[8] This was the largest margin of victory for Stanford in a Stanford-USC game since the two teams' rivalry began in 1918.[11] Harbaugh became the only coach in college football with a winning record against Carroll, going 2-1 in the three times the two coaches have faced each other.[7] Stanford would eclipse the all-time point spread record it set from the 2007 Stanford vs. Southern California football game, as USC was an 11 point favorite.[12][13]

UCLA–USC rivalry game for the Victory Bell, which the Trojans retained by defeated the Bruins 28-7. Both teams wore home jerseys, in a tradition that was re-started the previous year, with the Bruins wearing their 1966 throwback powder blue jerseys. The final two minutes of the game proved to be interesting. With the Trojans leading 21-7 after a touchdown with 1:30 in the fourth quarter, and having possession of the ball after UCLA turned it over on downs, Carroll instructed his quarterback to take a knee. Rick Neuheisel then called a timeout to stop the clock. On second down, the Trojans immediately connected on a 48-yard pass play for their fourth touchdown of the game.[14] USC beat UCLA for the 10th time in 11 years, but the late touchdown pass stirred passions in the crosstown rivalry and lead to a benches-clearing incident.{{clr||
