USC head coach Steve Sarkisian hasn’t enjoyed much success against Oregon in his career, but that didn’t stop him from taking a jab at his rivals at Pac-12 Media Day.
For whatever reason, Sarkisian took a tired shot at Oregon’s bevy of uniform combinations while boasting about USC’s “rich tradition:”
Sark on USC’s recruiting approach: “We fall back on our rich tradition…We’re not going to take the field in 13 different uniforms.”

We all know the Ducks love their uniforms, and the Oregon Duck was quick to fact-check Sarkisian on just how many jersey combinations they have:

And if that wasn’t enough, the school’s assistant director of athletic communications, Joe Waltasti, had some hard facts of Sark:
