Since I'm a guy who enjoys some sports history, here's some stuff I dug up about how the gophers of yore fared against the Men of Troy. Since 1945, Minnesota has played USC 6 times and have a 1-4-1 record against the Trojans. The last time they met was September 27, 1980, at Memorial Stadium. The Trojans won 24-7. In 1979, the gophers traveled to LA to take on the top ranked Trojans and lost 14-48. 11 years prior, the Trojans entered Memorial Stadium to fight the 16th ranked gophers and upset the maroon and gold 29-20. The only tie in the series occurred in 1965 in Los Angeles, where the 7th ranked Trojans and gophers fought to a 20-20 score. The solo gopher win in this series occurred in 1955 on October 29 in Memorial Stadium. The Gophers defeated the 10th ranked Trojans 25-19. 2 years prior in LA, the first meeting resulted in a 17-7 win for the 8th ranked Trojans.
