One member of the USC coaching staff has some fond memories whenever Boston College comes up.On Oct. 21, 2000, current tight ends coach Brennan Carroll, then a redshirt junior tight end for Pittsburgh, caught a three-yard touchdown pass against the Eagles in the Panthers' 42-26 win at Three Rivers Stadium. It ended up being Carroll's only career touchdown, and Coach Pete Carroll, Brennan's father, was at the game that day.
On a related note, current radio sideline reporter John Jackson, who played wideout for USC in 1986-89, also caught a touchdown against Boston College. When the Trojans and Eagles met in 1987 at the Coliseum, Jackson hauled in a 51-yard scoring reception that ended up being the winning points in USC's 23-17 victory.
"I still remember the play," Jackson said this week as he re-enacted the out-and-up route he ran.
