USC vs. Notre Dame, 1931
In the first game between USC and Notre Dame in Notre Dame Stadium, the Domers built up a 14-point lead, but the Trojans came back and trailed 14-13 when USC's Johnny Baker kicked a field goal to win the game 16-14. This was the most celebrated football game in Los Angeles history.
USC vs Duke, 1939 (1939 Rose Bowl)
In a defensive battle, Duke which had been undefeated and un-scored upon in 1938 led 3-0 late in the game when Doyle Nave, a fourth-string quarterback threw a series of complete passes and led the Trojans to a 7-3 victory over the Blue Devils.
USC vs Notre Dame, 1974
Notre Dame led at half time 24-0 when Anthony Davis fielded the kickoff that opened the second hall and returned it for a touchdown. Then the Trojans made score after score, winning 55-24.
I was at that game, sitting in the student sectio--the happiest and most exciting place in the world that afternoon.
USC vs Ohio State, 1975 (1975 Rose Bowl)
During the 1974 USC-Notre Dame game, Ohio State coach Woody Hayes was in the broadcast booth at the Coliseum doing commentary. The Trojans would be meeting his Buckeyes at the Rose Bowl in a month, so as the game drew to a close with Notre Dame trailing by 31 points, I and everyone else in the student section yelled, "Woody, you're next!"--probably the loudest yell I have ever heard in the Coliseum.
And indeed, he was. For those of us in attendance, the game was an emotional roller coaster. The Buckeyes jumped off to an early lead, but they couldn't put the game away, and the Trojans kept the score close. As it drew to a close, an injured Shelton Diggs caught a pass for a two-point conversion to give the Trojans an 18-17 win.
USC vs Tulane, 1932 (1932 Rose Bowl)
After beating Notre Dame, the Trojans headed to Pasadena to face an even tougher opponent, the Tulane Green Wave, which had gone undefeated in 1931, allowing only 35 points. But after a scoreless first quarter, the Trojans scored three touchdowns and won 21-12.
