COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Here are some odds and ends from the sidelines and in the locker room before, during and after USC's miraculous 18-15 comeback win at Ohio State on Saturday night:
- Coach Carroll's halftime speech packed a punch and provided the players with some perspective. "Just do things right one play at a time," Carroll told the team. "We don't need to make stuff up. You can't win this game in the first or second quarter. Let's be patient with this and we'll come out and win this in the second half."
- Trojan greats Marcus Allen, Anthony Munoz and Charles White watched the game from the USC sidelines, along with comedian Will Ferrell.
- Four portable light standards were brought in to illuminate the field for Saturday's game, since Ohio State hardly ever hosts night games and therefore doesn't have permanent light fixtures. It created a poorly and oddly lit arena on Saturday night, at least more so than the Coliseum or another stadium with permanent stadium lights.
