GAME HIGHLIGHTS Click on the boxes below to view the big plays David Lewis forced a fumble on and Dewey Selmon recovered it Anthony Davis had one of the longest plays of the day for the Buc offense Jeb Blount and Jimmy DuBose hooked up for a late 4th quarter completion
Pat Haden threw two second quarter touchdown passes to put this one away and the Rams used a posse of backs to run the ball to success in the second half. The spread was a massive 21 points to the Rams in their own backyard. The Bucs fielded an all-USC backfield of Anthony Davis and Ricky Bell on their old college stomping ground of the Coliseum but with a totally opposite result to the one they used to enjoy as Trojans.
