1990--USC 45, UCLA 42. In the highest-scoring and perhaps most thrilling USC-UCLA game, Todd Marinovich threw a game-winning 23-yard TD pass to Johnnie Morton with 16 seconds left. The contest featured a 42-point fourth quarter (including 3 TD's in the final 3:09) with 4 lead changes. Morton also caught a 21-yard scoring TD from Marinovich with 3:09 to play to give USC a short-lived 38-35 lead, but Kevin Smith scored on a 1-yard run with 1:19 to go to put the Bruins up 42-38.

2000--USC 38, UCLA 35. David Bell, USC's third string kicker at the start of the season, hit a game-winning 36-yard field goal with 9 seconds to play (it was only his second field goal in 6 career attempts, as he had missed 3 previous tries in 2000, including a 24-yarder earlier in the game's fourth quarter).
