Finally, a game.
Does it feel like game week for USC? Between the hiring of new athletic director Jen Cohen and Reggie Bush’s lawsuit press conference at the Coliseum, there have been a lot of distractions.
I think it’s also easy to forget when the opponent is San Jose State.
- The San Jose State game means one thing: Only one more USC game left on the Pac-12 Network. Ever.
- If Alani Noa starts at offensive guard at this season, you will hear a lot about it because he is a true freshman. But let’s remember in 2014, USC started TWO true freshmen at offensive guard (Damien Mama, Toa Lobendahn) in the first game of the season.
- USC will soon be the only NCAA FBS (formerly Division I-A) school that has never played an FCS (formerly non-Division I-A) opponent. The only other school (Notre Dame) that hasn’t played an FCS school loses that distinction when it plays Tennessee State on Sept. 2.
- The USC song girls and spirit squad are now under the authority of the band, rather than being part of the recreational sports dept. I can’t help but wonder if this is a reacton to the controversy a couple years ago when song girls complained about the actions of former coach Lori Nelson.
- USC women’s soccer upset No. 4-ranked Duke, 3-1, Thursday in Durham, N.C. The Trojans play North Carolina next.
- A popular early move by Cohen would be to get another USC Hall of Fame class selected. The last one was in 2018 because Coach Bohn didn’t care about it.
- And now for some history:
- Here’s a wonderful color photo of the 1974 USC-Pittsburgh game featuring one of the greatest tailbacks in football history, Tony Dorsett.
The Trojans were ranked No. 18 and Pitt was No. 8. USC won, 16-7, even though QB Pat Haden got knocked out of the game. Dorsett was held to 59 yards in 15 carries. Two years later, he won the Heisman Trophy as the Panthers went 12-0 and won the national championship.
- The USC players are nose guard Larry Nunnally (93), linebacker Mario Celotto and either defensive tackle Art Riley (70) or defensive tackle Gary Jeter (79).
- Rob Adolph (above), who was a second baseman on the USC baseball team and member of three College World Series championship teams, replaced the injured Haden at quarterback.
- Notre Dame went 2-7 In 1963. The only two victories were against USC and UCLA. The Irish beat the No. 7-ranked and defending national champion USC,17-14 and came back to beat the Bruins a week later, 27-12.
Both games were in South Bend and Notre Dame then lost five straight games after that. This photo reminds me of how nice it was when the games were played in the daytime at Notre Dame Stadium.
Former USC fullback Ben Wilson takes the handoff from quarterback Bill Munson as the Rams faced the Detroit Lions at the Coliseum on Sept. 21, 1964. Wilson played four seasons with the Rams. He then signed with the Green Bay Packers in 1967 and gained 453 yards that season as the Packers won Super Bowl II.
BANQUETS, BEAUTY QUEENS AND LUNCHEONS
- The 1932 USC national championship football team is honored by the Breakfast Club in Los Angeles on Dec. 16, 1932. Don’t ask me what the Breakfast Club was, other than a movie with Molly Ringwald.
USC coach Howard Jones is standing in the foreground introducing the team and, get this, several radio stations carried the event. USC was big time. Team captains Tay Brown and Orville Mohler were also initiated into the club.
- Julie Raatz of Pasadena City College reacts to being named Rose Queen for 1980. The Rose Bowl that year featured USC vs. Ohio State.
- You think it’s impressive that USC brings a horse to its games? Well, Florida brought an alligator to the Coliseum when it played UCLA in 1931. That’s a mascot.
- I repeatedly mention how USC used to draw big entertainers to rallies and homecoming festivities. Singer Johnnie Ray, dubbed “the father of rock and roll” by Tony Bennett, was around the peak of his popularity in 1953 when he performed at a USC noon rally in Bovard Auditorium before the UCLA game.
- After the rally, a dance was held outside Bovard from 3-5 p.m. At the end of the dance, the students went to the P.E. Building (behind Bovard) to formally send off the football team before it departed for the Town House Hotel on Wilshire Blvd. This was in the days when the football locker room was in the P.E. Building.
- Here’s some trivia that involves USC and Los Angeles High School.
On November 6, 1909, Courtney Decius kicked a 45-yard field goal for USC at Occidental. That set a USC field goal record for distance that lasted until Chris Limahelu’s 47-yard field goal against Ohio State in the 1974 Rose Bowl.
Decius also held, for many years, the record for most field goals in a single game AGAINST USC. Playing for Los Angeles High School, Decius, on October 10, 1908, kicked three field goals (then worth four points each) against USC, two from the 35-yard line near the sidelines, and one from the 27-yard line.
That record, tied several times, stood for 65 years, until Nov. 10, 1973, when Rod Garcia kicked four field goals for Stanford against the Trojans.
PICTURE OF THE WEEK
- Actress France Nuyen, 18, celebrates at Santa Monica Superior Court where she had a contract with 20th Century Fox film studio approved in 1958. The seven-year contract called for salary ranging from $400 to $1,500 weekly after she had a major role in the musical “South Pacific.”

If you doubt Johnnie Ray’s popularity, and in honor of him performing at USC, watch the beginning of the video for Dexys Midnight Runner’s classic “Come On Eileen” where Ray’s arrival at Heathrow Airport is shown and he gets mentioned in the lyrics.

So back in 1909 your team could win a game 4 to zero by kicking one field goal. Seems odd but the Rams beat the Bucs one year 5 to 2 in the NFC championship game.

On the last play of the game, with the Rams ahead 5 to 0, the Rams punter intentionally took a safety to avoid having to kick out of the end zone costing my uncle his bet.

As public outrage grew and Biden was widely denounced for his inaction, a reference to the Maui fire disaster was inserted into his previously scheduled speech on the economy in Milwaukee on Tuesday. During his bumbling remarks, the president offered survivors an insulting $700 per household, under conditions where families have lost everything and have no place to live.
