COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Check out some behind-the-scenes tidbits from the sidelines during and after USC's incredible game-winning drive at the end of the fourth quarter:

- With the Trojans down, 15-10, going into what ended up being their final drive, the USC sideline became renewed with excitement, as the players and coaches knew this could be the chance to snatch a victory. And even when the first two plays went for a loss, the players and coaches on the sideline remained fervent in support of the offense. It paid off, with the next 13 plays leading the Trojans 95 yards to the game-winning touchdown.

- The sideline was buzzing with so much energy as the drive marched onward, each completion or run increasing the excitement and anticipation for what felt almost certain. The players on the sideline chanted and sang throughout the series, creating a powerful force that seemingly propelled the offense to the end zone at the closed end of the horseshoe.

- As Stafon Johnson bounced outside and had a clear path to the end zone for the touchdown, the ear-ringing noise that had filled Ohio Stadium for nearly four quarters was instantly vacuumed out, with the only din coming from the celebratory Trojan sideline. Even though it was coming from only about 100 players and coaches, it seemed like enough noise to fill the stadium to deafening levels.

- When the game ended, the players went over to the Trojan Marching Band and the USC section in the corner of Ohio Stadium to celebrate before running up the ramp to the locker room -- while chanting "We are SC!" the whole way up.

- After the game-winning drive and post-game celebration, the Trojans were riding such a high that they probably could've gotten home early Sunday morning without the charter plane.
