The Oregon Ducks and USC Trojans rivalry is starting to heat up an even the media relations staff from one of the schools is getting involved.
This afternoon Trojans Head Coach Steve Sarkisian took a shot at the Ducks and the different uniforms they choose to wear everytime they place.
"We're not going to take the field this year in 13 different uniforms in 13 games this year." – Sark, taking a low-key shot at Oregon.

It’s always fun to see a head coach talking trash to a rival, but Sarkisian has not been very successful in previous meetings with the ducks.
Orgeon media relations staffer Joe Waltasti took time on Twitter Friday to point that out.

I beleive the point goes to Oregon in that battle. Waltasti hit the USC coach with fire. Ouch!
Sarkisian and his Trojans are supposed to compete for the Pac 12 crown this season and possibly a spot in the college football playoff.
While the Ducks are looking to replace heisman trophy winning quarterback Marcus Mariota.
USC and Oregon will face each other on November 21st, in Eugene.
A game that is sure to have conference championship ramifications written all over it.
