<p>Marcus Everett knew the receiving corps would need to come up big in order to pull off the biggest upset in college football, so he went out and led by example. The junior wide out made several big plays in crucial moments in the second half, extending Bruin drives en route to the team?s 13-9 upset over No. 2 Southern California. With quarterback Pat Cowan forced out of the pocket several times, Everett became the primary target, shaking free and finding holes in the defense in critical stages of the game. <br/>?I?m just happy I got the opportunity to make some big plays,? Everett said. ?I studied film all week on their corners, and I knew what I could get them with.? <br/>Everett finished with five catches for a respectable 72 yards. All but one of those receptions came in the second half as the team was able to get into the red zone and take the lead back. During a crucial stretch in the third quarter, Everett made two big receptions for first downs, setting up a Justin Medlock field goal to put the score to 10-9. In the fourth quarter, UCLA was pinned back deep into its own territory and after a short rush, a holding penalty and an incomplete pass, it looked as if the Bruins would be forced to punt the ball back, giving the Trojans good field position. However, on the ensuing third-and-long, Everett made a solid grab for 21 yards, successfully extending the Bruin drive that eventually ended in another Medlock field goal. <br/>?I knew it was going to come down to the receivers, for us to make some big plays,? Everett said. ?We knew that if we finished, we could beat ?SC.?</p> <p><b>VERNER COMES THROUGH</b>: USC?s All-American wide out Dwayne Jarrett probably looked at UCLA true freshman Alterraun Verner and thought he was going to have a field day. But Verner had other things in mind. He continued his stellar play this season by shutting down the potential first-round NFL Draft pick Jarrett, who finished with just four grabs and ? most importantly ? no touchdowns. <br/>?They didn?t go to him much this game, and I think it was because we played good coverage and our defensive line put pressure on Booty all day,? Verner said. ?Once we got into the game, they knew I wasn?t going to lay down for them.?</p> <p><b>MACE NOTES:</b> As the game ended, UCLA students who attempted to get onto the field were pepper-sprayed by police officers. According to second-year student Matt Ross, students stopped trying to rush the field when they were met by security guards and police with pepper spray, but were pushed over a short fence and onto the field by students from behind. <br/>?(A) cop saw me falling on my face, and instead of trying to help me up, he held me down by the shirt and pepper-sprayed me in the face,? Ross said.</p><br><br><a href='; target='_blank'>;
