1976 USC vs UCLA

This is The 11/20/1976 USC vs UCLA game. USC didn't have a great year in 1975 by their standards. John Robinson took over for John McKay and after they were blown out at home by Missouri in their opener confidence wasn't high but after a couple of weeks they found themselves and began a long ascent back to #3 in the polls. UCLA had started the season well and been a solid #2 for weeks. The Trojans completed their climb by winning this game and beating Notre Dame the following week for a Rose Bowl Berth. I claim no rights.

When college football was great. I throughly enjoyed watching this again.

[@DanielArmstrong-yk1zl]

Same here.

[@Redwhiteblue-gr5em]

Love Keith Jackson, to me the best voice of NCAA football.

[@Matt-xv2cp]

No question. Will never be matched.

[@jonathankuhls3778]

I agree. Plus Ray Scott is right up there with him.

[@gcuddy7991]

Keith Jackson - “Special Teams, Special Teams, Special Teams!” Or”Option, option”

[@dennissaunders5247]

Wha NELLIE. R.I.P KIETH JACKSON. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY. COLLEGE FOOTBALL LEGEND.

[@ynp1978]

Charles White as a freshman predicting he would win a Heisman during his time at USC. In 1979 he checked that box. Statistically the greatest running back in USC's long and illustrious football history!

[@leewilcox5848]

The only intercity rivalry in college football makes the USC vs UCLA game unique.

[@Vgy926]

UCLA linebacker Jerry Robinson was a three-time All-American from 1976-78.

[@ripperduck]

USC cheerleaders were off the hook...

[@CIF-pm7tk]

Still 48 years later, I’m still in love w SC cheer squad

[@robfalter2522]

those ladies are all pushing 70 now. time sure does go by fast

[@jamesfields2916]

​@@robfalter2522 Time marches on. So many of these 18-22 year old kids playing have passed away.

[@ronniewhite7338]

Awesome that you posted this game. Love finding old 1970's and 1980's USC games here. If you have '75 USC vs. UCLA and Notre Dame, would love to find it here on KZbin. In fact, any USC/UCLA and USC/Notre Dame games from the 1970's and 1980's would be great.

[@victormendez1231]

72, 73, 77, 78, and 79a are on KZbin.

[@victormendez1231]

Lot of games from the 80's are on KZbin.

[@MalcolmPusey-dc1ku]

I want to see more early 70 games. Thanks.

[@8avexp]

By then, they started shifting the field to the east when the end zone bleachers came out. Back then, snare drums sounded like snare drums and not bongos. I played snare in in marching band at my alma mater back in the late 70s. Ara covered the ND game the following week.

[@LawrenceRoss1906]

BTW, we all wanted to be Oscar Edwards. If I remember clearly, his nickname was Dr. Death, and he wore a white towel with a skull and crossbones. Bad ass as a safety. lol

[@jamesfields2916]

Absolutely! Played Pop Warner up in Lancaster at this time and we all wore Dr. Death themed towels.

[@gerardogonzalez679]

great pictures in you videos and take a look again is like the good old days.

[@LawrenceRoss1906]

I was ten and we were at this game. We were a UCLA family. BTW, every player looks like they're 40. LOL

[@jamesfields2916]

Can't get over the size or lack of it compared to today's players.

[@3321far]

OMG USC was loaded on defense! I swear I wonder why they didn't go undefeated 5 years in a row.

[@paulsonj72]

Both teams wearing home jerseys as they both played at the coliseum at the time.

[@CIF-pm7tk]

Still to this day. Both wear home

[@rustyshackleford1114]

Lots of future Tampa Bay Bucs here.

[@TheOlmonroe1]

7:55 Looks like Charles White's words were prophetic.

[@jamesfields2916]

Remember watching USCs opening game against Missouri on tape delay and Missour blew them out 46-25! Its not how you start its how you finish.

[@stealthbomber2127]

Terry Donohue was a very good coach, but his weakness was the lack of physicality of his teams. Those that matched his teams in talent beat the Bruins with physicality. He often spoke of Nebraska just beat his teams up, and USC did the same thing.

[@jamesfields2916]

It wasn't until 1988 that UCLA put a team on the field against Nebraska that was more physical.

[@CIF-pm7tk]

I love your entire block of games! ❤❤❤

[@MalcolmPusey-dc1ku]

Do you have the 1969, 1970 and 1974 games to be shown?

[@wiedep]

Looks like Ivor Francis @ 34:41 ignoring the annoying guy in Cobra ad. He was pretty busy in mid 70's, unusual that he'd do a small 'walk across' part like this. Not a great halftime for young Jim Lampley, not to mention that hair... 'Lamps' getting blown off by John Robinson, was that a raspberry heard after the obvious question? Looks like a mix-up at half with flash cards showing Dr. Death and band playing 'Nadia's Theme'. What a sloppy ending.

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Missouri was a real spoiler in 76. They beat Ohio State Colorado and USC. The win over USC cost Trojans Natty. Wonder Iowa State coached by Earle Bruce beat Mizzou

[@Vgy926]

Missouri also beat then-No. 3 Nebraska 34-24.

[@jamesfields2916]

Mizzou also best Nebraska and North Carolina! Five wins over teams that finished in top twenty. Still just went 6-5 with no bowl. One of the quirkiest win loss records ever.

[@jamesfields2916]

Looking for UCLA nose guard Steven Tetrick height and weight. Doesn't look but 5'7. How the game has changed.

[@mathaddict59]

Dennis Thurman. Future Cowboys great.

[@darylevrba6705]

can you get your hands on 1976 ucla/ airzona st. game?

[@jamesfields2916]

Oscar Edwards AKA Doctor Death!

[@davidmccoy96]

I dig those 70s Afros

[@Lfg117]

🔥

[@Moose46316]

Keith Jackson was the best

[@Picasso_305]

Look how lean and not swollen his face is. Looks like a real athlete. Not the swollen face, scalp and neck that eventually plauged him when on the PEDs in the NFL. Great player gone way to soon because of PEDS to bench 700. He did not need them to be a great player.

[@jamesfields2916]

Which player?
