A Special Saturday

| No Comments

A sold out crowd could be in for a day to remember Saturday as two of the all-time great Trojans, Matt Barkley and Robert Woods, are on the verge of breaking major historical marks.

Woods is on the brink of becoming USC's all-time receptions king.  Just halfway through his junior season, he needs only five catches Saturday to top Dwayne Jarrett on the career list.

Barkley and Woods have been a record setting duo since day one at Troy.  The quarterback already holds top school marks for touchdown passes in a single season (39) and single game (6).

As an All-American in 2011, Woods caught more passes (111) than any player in Pac-12 and USC history.  He also set the school's single-game record with 17 catches versus Minnesota last year.
