STANFORD, Calif. -- David Shaw tried to hold back his emotions on the sideline. The second-year Stanford coach watched his players bounce on both sides of him, then fans swarm the field from all angles, and he finally couldn't resist flashing a giant I-told-you-so smile anymore.
No Jim Harbaugh and no Andrew Luck, but the Cardinal still have every answer for Matt Barkley and Southern California.
Josh Nunes threw a go-ahead 37-yard touchdown to Zach Ertz, Stepfan Taylor ran for 153 yards and scored two touchdowns, and No. 21 Stanford upset second-ranked USC 21-14 on Saturday night for its fourth straight win in this series.
"We don't want to be that team known for one victory," Shaw said. "We want to be known for victory after victory, stacking wins on top of wins."

Barkley is an asshat, but the really nice thing is Lane Kiffin is unhappy!

No one else for Heisman is the frontrunner and Barkley's 3 int will always be remembered come voting time. Yeah, both are possible, but very unlikely.
