USC is going all-out to defend statues from UCLA attacks (Photo)
It's UCLA-USC rivalry week, and USC already got a pre-emptive strike in on UCLA's Bruin bear. So to prevent any repercussions, USC students have gone whole-hog to prevent any UCLA statue vandalism.

The schools have been going back and forth messing with each other's landmarks for 70 years, and students have started camping out (as you can see in the photo above) to thwart any issues. But just in case the guards are overcome with sleep or taken off by a mob from UCLA, at least two statues are covered head-to-toe in what looks like duct tape.
Well done, USC. If the football team plays defense as well as the students do, the Trojans have a great chance of winning.
