Jarrett is only the seventh Trojan to have 200 or more receiving yards (Keyshawn Johnson did it twice, both in bowl games).
- Steve Smith's two first-quarter TD receptions were his third and fourth of the season, third in the last two games and 11th and 12th of his career. The only other time Smith had more than one TD catch in a game was three in the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma in January.
