It was a Hollywood opening during today's Pac-12 clash between USC and Stanford, when comedian Will Ferrell led USC onto the field.

Ferrell, who graduated class of 1990 with a degree in Sports Information, is no stranger to the spotlight on a field; earlier this year he played ten different positions for ten different baseball teams during MLB spring training for an HBO special.

It certainly was not the comedian's first attempt to hype USC -- a casual Google Image search of "Will Ferell USC" yields plentiful results.

Perhaps his charm helped the USC football team. USC went on to score a touchdown on their first drive, nine plays good for 76 yards.
