Duck fans across the country were given the sweetest treat of all on Halloween last night: A 47-20 win over Southern California in the Pac-10 game of the season.
As you can imagine, the Twittersphere was on fire with news about the win. Here’s how it went down on Twitter during the few minutes before and after the win (in reverse chronological order).
