The 2007 Stanford vs. USC football game was an NCAA college football game held on October 6, 2007, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. In a remarkable upset, with USC favored by 40 points, the visiting Stanford Cardinal won 24–23. USC entered the game with a 35-game home game winning streak (its previous home game loss also happened to be to Stanford, in 2001) which included a 24-game home game winning streak in Pac-10 play. By contrast, Stanford had compiled a Pac-10 worst 1–11 season in 2006, which included a 42–0 loss to USC. To compound the situation, Stanford's starting quarterback T. C. Ostrander had suffered a seizure the previous week and backup quarterback Tavita Pritchard had never started a game and had thrown just three passes in official play.

Considering Stanford was 5-1 against USC from 2007-12, I'd say this was just a matter of USC being vastly overrated (shocking) and Jim Harbaugh being incredibly underrated.

Maybe recruiting Andrew Luck had something to do with that. I'll go out on a limb and say he was significantly better than Tavita Pritchard. And what does the record from 08-12 have to do with the 07 game? Stanford went 4-8 that year. From 09-12 they went to the Orange, Fiesta, and Rose bowls. Maybe the Luck guy and all those pro TE's had something to do with those other wins over USC.

You make no point.
