The rivalry began in November 1905, when Stanford spoiled the University of Southern California's very first football game outside the southern end of the state by beating the Methodists 16-0. The matchup between the two most prominent private schools on the West Coast became an annual affair in 1918. This venerable rivalry gets its 103rd chapter on Saturday night at the Coliseum when No. 6 USC (2-0) hosts the Cardinal (1-0), but this particular showdown is a melancholy moment.
