INSIDE

RANDY HARVEY: Chris Sailer’s pooch punt late in third quarter pins USC inside its five, and the field position becomes the key to clinching score. Page 2

BUTTERFINGERS: USC had lost only 10 fumbles before Saturday, but UCLA’s defense forced five. “It’s the worst,” USC tailback Chad Morton said. Page 10

PICKING IT UP: R. Jay Soward’s fumble early in the first quarter set the tone. “They were really careless with the ball,” UCLA’s Ryan Nece said. Page 11

SACKED: Bruins don’t give Trojan quarterback Carson Palmer much respect and sack him six times in a game the freshman won’t soon forget. Page 13
