USC vs. Hawaii 2010

Matt Barkley and Ronald Johnson connected on three touchdowns to make Lane Kiffin a winner in his first game as Southern California coach. No. 14 USC beat Hawaii 49-36 on Thursday night to start the post-Pete Carroll era. Barkley passed for 257 yards and tied a school record with five TD passes while Johnson matched a USC mark with his three TD catches. Johnson also returned a punt 89 yards for another score in USC's first game after being hit with sanctions by the NCAA that include a postseason ban this season. Johnson's two scores in the third quarter, a 3-yard catch and the punt return, helped break the game open for the Trojans (1-0), who took a 42-23 lead into the fourth. September 2, 2010.

that was a vicious hit. i agree that he did get hit in the head but im not convinced it was his forearm that did the damage. it looks to me that he got hit with the linebackers shoulder. idk maybe its just me

We showed America how Hawaii plays. Slinging the ball all over the field and putting the run in Run and Shoot! we played a hell of a game and never, never gave up!

In the NFL that would be a fine. Another reason why college football is more fun to watch than pro.

That hit on Hawaii's QB was the definition of "ouch".
