Rare 1970 USC Color Football Clip

[brat]

Go to the 14:26 mark and you'll see Tennessee - USC game. In it, you'll see a great close up of our old helmet/logo, our old end zone design, and our old midfield design. Thought our younger fans would get a kick out of seeing them.

I was at this game and it was exceptionally exciting and without a doubt, the most painful USC loss I ever witnessed. We were huge underdogs and were playing the undefeated, #1 team in the nation and played our hearts out. Late in the game, we were trailing when Tommy Suggs hit Doug Hambrick or Jimmy Mitchell (can't remember) with an old fashioned 80 yard TD long bomb. The fans erupted. Earlier in the game we had made a 2 point conversion to take a lead in the game in a seesaw match. UT won the National Championship and won our game by driving down the field. Seems I still remember the time on the clock when they took over on their last drive as 1:34. They kicked a FG to win with seconds remaining.

I liked the end zones. Very collegiate.

Really cool, and a little bit depressing. I just witnessed another heartbreaking defeat that I had no idea existed. They ate us up with that draw play.

I was there as well. A great game except for the ending.
BTW, UT did not win a MNC that year. They were 11-1 after beating Air Force in the Sugar Bowl. Nebraska and Texas won the AP and UPI titles respectively.

There you go...ruining my story with facts.

My faulty memory strikes, again.

[Flameout12]

And their narrator knows who "Carolina" is...thanks for the clip brat.

[PyroPepper]

Thanks for that! I was there as well.

[Cockyhard]

That was pretty cool... minus the outcome

[cockypoppy068]

Thanks for that!

[The Yancey]

I remember those helmets and those diamond end zones well.

Interesting that even back then we couldn't cover a punt worth a hoot. :)

Very cool.

[Cocklover]

I was a year old...but I remember stories told to me on this game...

[BlakelyH19]

maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but are the field goal post garnet, black, and white? i could barely see them

[cack]

Ironic ... our ST coverage even sucked back then

[eaglegolf018]

UT always beat us like that. Even up until around 2007. Have a late lead, they make some insane late play to steal it.

[FlorenceCock]

Lol at all of the white skill position players.

[talon]

doc I was there also my first game
