Not only did USC's special teams score a touchdown, but they had an unprecedented, near-perfect all-around performance Saturday.
The special teams were successful on all 12 of coordinator Brian Schneider's game goals for the units, something that impressed the long-time special teams coach, to say the least.
"I have never seen 12-for-12," Schneider said during this afternoon's special teams meeting, referring to a system he has used for years.
USC's previous best this season was 10-for-12. Check out the 12 special teams goals and the Trojans' successful performance on each:
