Pat Haden, Randy Cross, Lynn Swann, and many more. So many future NFL players in this game.

Just incase someone missed it. UCLA’s QB is future actor Mark Harmon ( NCIS fame)

Thanks so much for uploading this. Finally some extensive footage of Mark Harmon back in his glory days at UCLA.

A Running Back(Anthony Davis Probable Starter in some games)kicking off, A Starting Quarterback returning punts ...ah when College Football was great!

Holy crap, UCLA running the wishbone-I never knew, since I went there a decade later, during the Aikman years. Lots of future pros in this game Thanks for posting!

no play clock, no replay, no targeting, just good old American football

Thanks for sharing. The Trojans were fun to watch. Enjoyed watching Harmon and the talented backs of the Bruins. The Trojans had some studs. Davis was an excellent college player. You do a real nice job.

The dude never throws a pass.

OMG Pat Haden, Randy Cross and Lynn Swann playing alongside Gibbs from NCIS. Priceless!

To this day, the UCLA-USC game is the most eye pleasing game in sport. The colors of both teams on the field at the same time, there’s nothing in sports that can compare.

5:32 one of the best plays in the Wishbone. Fake to FB like option but run power at the def end. Tough. UCLA's first TD is the same play.

John SCIARRA was a great athlete . I saw him play in h.s .He was the QUICKEST white guy I saw play in h.s.

Check out Lynn Swann's future '74 draft mate and Steelers teammate, the late Jimmy Allen (#83) at RCB for UCLA.

Pepper Rodgers actually had a nice little run as UCLA head coach, but couldn't beat SC. He famously upset #1 Nebraska during his tenure and his offenses gained a lot of high powered yards behind a massive offensive line. The problem with his wishbone offense was SC's defense was just too fast, physical and filled with tons of future NFL athletes for such a one dimensional attack. John McKay famously drew up how to defend the wishbone on a cocktail napkin for reporters the night before the game and basically executed the plan to perfection. Teams followed suit and it became the model on how to defend it. His fast outside linebackers would crash down on the snap of the ball and smack the the runner every play. Mark Harmon once said his only memory of this game was constantly looking up from the ground and seeing the back of a red jersey walk back to the huddle. UCLA went to Dick Vermiel and a pro style offense after this game and upset #1Ohio State in the 75 season with Sciara.

Just good ole football.. never to return.. so sad..

Brutal football You can't win with the wishbone offense and give up the ball 6 times. Why did the UCLA coach Pepper Rogers keep switching out NCIS's Mark Harmon and John Sciarra. The offense has to have some continuity to be successful

To paraphrase someone else's comment, thank you so much for posting video of Mark Harmon handing off the ball. Good thing he chose acting over a football career.

Harmon ever throw the ball

Jethro Gibbs the man the legend no 7

Now I see why USC lost the rosebowl vs Ohio St...they had trouble stopping the run

Ol’ Handoff Harmon

So college football always had the goalposts in the back of the end zone

6:02 run Gibbs

Where was John Sciarra? UCLA had Mark Harmon Quarterbacking the Bruins.

Wow college football used to look like our modern day nfl games. Now I wonder why is this "Wishbone Formation" no longer used?? Edit: Prior to this video I've never seen "Wishbone Formation" used

Precursor to USC losing to Ohio State in Rose 🌹

Holy cow! What formation is UCLA running?

Oh 6 turn over’s

This should be considered one of the all-time USC-UCLA rivalry games. Rose Bowl on the line. Both teams rated in the top 10. USC -- Hayden, McKay Jr., Obradovich, Anthony Davis, Rod McNeil, Artimus Parker, Richard Wood. UCLA - Mark Harmon, John Sciarra, Kermit Johnson, James McAllister, Rod's brother Fred McNeil on defense. Harmon and Sciarra shuttled the QB position for UCLA. McNeil and Davis traded carries. Hard fought contest all the way. The difference came within the turnover category. Some oddities - Anthony Davis kicking off for USC, John Sciarra returning punts. This game has all the stuff that made this rivalry what it is.

Ucla ran the wishbone?

There is NO PASSING game. All wishbone... Pat Haden did it later in the game

Harmon was better in Summer School than this game...

Boy, Keith Jackson's eyesight had already started to fail. He misses a lot of what actually happened.

Nah. Not almost filled today. Not almos filled today. Not almo filled today. /

UCLA coulda kicked a field goal with 39 seconds left and then attempted an onside kick. Instead, they wasted the rest of the time trying to get the touchdown first. Seems pretty stupid when teams do that.
