Serious-type atmosphere even if they were not playing for the Title.Īnd so with the Haden-to-McKay strike giving SC a chance, the Trojan faithful are screaming and in a tizzy– But the game still has to be won. It was an unusual gray, overcast afternoon, and the lack of sun created a Not so on Janufor the National Championship. ND was quickly out of the game, and there was no drama left, the tension dissolved Trojans were laughing as much as they were cheering. A close game with the Neuters suddenly turned into a 55-24 runaway. But the feelings generated were sharply different. Yes, the feelings still remain from that 55-24 game, which unfortunately has dwarfed the later Rose Bowl victory, turning it into a mere footnote. That was McKay at his finest, and it made up for what he did to me in college. (Coach McKay had a history of ‘going for it’ as in 1961 versus the No.1 Iowa Hawkeyes, they were once that good, and at the end Coach went for the win with a 2-point play, however it failed and Troy fell. You just knew SC had to go for it!– Nothing less would do. There was grave tension among the Trojan faithful, it had not been a stellar game for Troy’s offense.īut a few plays later Haden-to-Johnny McKay Jr for 6, but still down 17-16. It was a rather dull defensive battle until the final minutes when SC, down 17-10, set-up for its last chance. Buckeyes (although the B-Eyes boys prefer THE Ohio St, with special emphasis placed on the word THE)Īnd SC beat THE Ohio St that day. It’s a goodbye bash for USC’s liberation from this national burden which has limited the program’s exposure.Yes, yes, and yes- Some of the greatest minutes of my life were spent watching Trojan football at its finest– the ’74 Neuter Dame Comeback Game, 55-24, which set-up a National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl with the dreaded Ohio St. No, really: Tim Prangley, co-host of Trojan Conquest Live and part of the USC postgame show at The Voice of College Football, told us earlier this summer he would be marking the occasion at the Nevada game. USC fans will be throwing a party to celebrate this occasion. Having done that, we turn to the reality that this will be USC’s final home football game on Pac-12 Network. The network’s daily work gained industry respect.” All the people who were responsible for putting a good product on the air did an absolutely fantastic job. “The problem with Pac-12 Network was never the production quality of a game or studio broadcast. “One of the especially sad dimensions of the Pac-12 Network story is that the product itself - what you saw on the screen, getting beamed into your home, if you did have access to the P-12 Net - was really very good.
The actual on-air product of Pac-12 Network is and has been very good. We want to be very clear: The problem with the network is the lack of distribution and accessibility. This probably will be the last time any USC fan will have to endure Pac-12 Network’s limited visibility and accessibility. We don’t yet know as an absolute certainty that it’s the last USC football game to be on Pac-12 Network, but it’s more likely than not. We know this for sure: Saturday’s USC football home game against the Nevada Wolf Pack will be the Trojans’ last home game ever shown on Pac-12 Network.
