They got on the plane thinking they were going to hand KSU their asses, but they realized pretty quickly that they were in for more than they had bargained for. KSU got up on them early and controlled the game the whole way. IIRC, USC made it respectable by scoring some points after the game was no longer in doubt, but Leinert pretty much said that they folded.
It happens, and this seems like it could have the makings of that kind of game.

That's a very different scenario. I don't think it will happen b/c we're 6-0 but w/ a backup QB and our pedigree vs their's it's not difficult to fathom Fla not respecting Mizzou.
