The biggest advantage to home field advantage is not having to travel, able to sleep in your bed etc. Sure the crowd cheering is nice but the big thing is able to do everything you've been doing without having to get travel lagged. If you played any sports for varsity you'd know this. For me personally I loved to play when the crowd hated my team.
So USC beat an overconfident Oklahoma team that could only run. If i am not mistaken almost every year USC loses one of those games, even worse to teams that are sub-par. And I still havent forgotten the USC vs ND game where they cheated to win.
