USC Trojans wide receiver Marqise Lee has put together a season for the ages in 2012, and on Saturday the sophomore broke a 19-year old school record. With his 39-yard catch in the fourth quarter against the UCLA Bruins and touchodwn catch two plays later, Lee has 1,561 receiving yards on the season, breaking the old Pac-12 record of 1,532 yards by Mike Hass of Oregon State in 2005.
Lee also has the USC school record, breaking the old mark set by Johnnie Morton in 1993.
