More snapshots from USC-Ohio State
USC FOOTBALL
Williams gets his touchdown passes after bugging quarterback Sanchez; Buehler gets his celebrity photos.
With USC taking one more day off before resuming practice on Tuesday, there's time to look back on a few overlooked moments from the Trojans' victory over Ohio State.
Start with quarterback Mark Sanchez's impromptu play in the second half, tossing a shovel pass to his tailback, then sprinting downfield to lay a block on All-American linebacker James Laurinaitis.
Well, almost a block.
"I got a little of him," Sanchez said.
The game's final two touchdowns -- both on Sanchez passes to Damian Williams -- were the result of extra hard work in practice. As in Williams working extra hard to bug Sanchez.
The sophomore wideout was USC's leading receiver in the opener at Virginia but did not get into the end zone.
"He was harassing me all week," Sanchez said.
Williams responded: "Did he tell you that? I'm going to kill him."
Not all of Saturday night's memories involve football. During the game, kicker David Buehler glanced down a sideline populated by Denzel Washington and other Hollywood A-listers and noticed punter Greg Woidneck shaking hands with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"I try to stay focused," Buehler said. "But with special teams, you have a lot of time."
Buehler had already met actor Robert Patrick, who played the T-1000 in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," at practice this season, so he rounded up teammate Joe Houston and they had a snapshot taken with the governor.
"I thought it was the perfect opportunity," Buehler said. "I just have to find the guy who took the picture."
