1969 Rose Bowl: Ohio State v. USC (Drive-Thru)

[vitoduval]

The Oregon RB just went 91 yards and ran it into OJs Corner of the End Zone

[vitoduval]

Ironically, Jack Tatum's gretest game as a pro  was Super Bowl XI at the Rose Bowl

[flowergirl1313]

Hurry up? WTF!

[BShannara]

I was at that game-my cousin was QB Rex Kern. I wore a big scarlet & grey pin all that week that said, "OJ Who?" & kept it for many years until I had to pay for a move from DC to LV, NV & had to throw out excess & it went in that batch-was only 10 days before he killed his wife & Ron Goldman. What I could have sold it for on eBay! But it was a great ball game & I still have my piece of the goal post (they make em of wood cause they know they're gonna get torn down-so they wrap em in streamers)

[FranklinBlunt]

I was very young when this was televised but another memory was that it was used in our World Book Encyclopedia set so I could always see it again and again.

Love the pom poms.

[redletter2008]

@FranklinBlunt World Book Encyclopedia? I have the same ones, with game pictures, cheerleaders (OSU) in the "F" book for Football (pgs. 312-320). The pom poms were great. USC also used to have thousands of students and fans waiving them. The SC-UCLA game was an impressive sight with seas of cardinal & gold pom poms vs. powder blue & gold pom poms.

[FranklinBlunt]

Awesomeness!

[Johnhoulgate]

It's been so long since I saw this game. Kind of uncharacteristic of a Woody Hayes team throwing for scores.

[vitoduval]

The BCS sucks should have been Oregon vs Wisconsin last year

[Aronz1000]

@vitoduval no, wiscony lost to tcu

[vitoduval]

Curt Gowdy called Super Bowl 3 and the 1969 world series when NY upset Baltimore

[TheRealJamDawg]

about 8 minutes into the video. (The Bogus USC TD.) you see an Ohio State Player with 21 on his jersey. That's Art Burton. He was my Algebra Teacher in Perrysburg OH/

[manutd316]

I'd like how they candy stripe the goal post

[Orbital2]

@ Eoverhultz Tatum actually didn't make that hit, if you watch it was #26 that comes in and lays the wood

[vitoduval]

0:15 love the bouffant hair do

[nickma71]

Is it me, or is that last TD for USC an interception? The USC player was out of the endzone, and the DB caught it in front of him, falling out of bounds. I think that is what the announcers are saying.

[loyaldude10]

OJ wasone of the best college backs ever. I'll leav it at that

[MGattorney]

That Ohio State team was loaded with sophomores. Everyone thought they would 3-peat with all that talent for 2 more years.

[357MagnumBob]

Ann Coulter said it best:

You have to admire OJ's persistance. He has looked on every golf course in the country trying to find the "real" killer!

[dcbandnerd]

This USC butt kicking is brought to you in living color on NBC. 

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

Ohio State-Southern California should be an annual matchup it would be a great rivalry

[kwilliams22332]

Just like the police, the Buckeyes eventually caught up to O.J

[baco62]

@kwilliams22332 ...The score should have been 27-10..the last TD by USC wasnt even close! oh gotta love those Pac 8 refs and homefield

[nbkvhha]

Hurry up Sloopy?  Goudy has been smoking somthing

[todwfish]

The "low-fives" crack me up.

[ErikS1975FreeState]

Ohio State vs Southern California is sort of an under appreciated rivalry

[mamorrey1]

That wasnt Tatum-Gowdy got it wrong

[JohnAJay]

I remember watching this game on TV. I was 9 years old. Thanks for the memories OHD. I watched the part where Tatum flattens OJ four times before I watched the rest of the video.

[1400deadwood]

So nice to see these old videos! That was a great time for college football.

The cheerleader girls looked so pretty & wholesome. :)

[ohiogreg64]

I was a kid and loved watching Ohio State football back then. Something so honest and simple about it.

[kraas]

First he runs from the Ohio State Defense. Then, he runs from the *law*

[buckiguy09]

"Ohio State fans. This is a song they play every game 'Hurry Up Sloopy'."

LOL

[buckeast1]

o.j. simpson brutally murdered 2 people with a knife, he practically severed his ex wife's head, therefore, all records of him should be removed from NCAA records and his awards given to the runner up.

[misteratheist1]

I'm not a Buckeye fan, but I sure like your stuff!

[speechrighter]

Lou Holtz sighting (OSU assistant coach with black baseball cap) at 3:54! Right?

[slimphotog]

@speechrighter yes, Lou Holtz was defensive backs coach for Ohio State that year.

[nickfa83]

USC is now dead

[SweepxThexLeg]

@nickfa83 if this was facebook i'd like this.

[CombatSportFan]

The quality of this is incredible It doesn't look 41 years old at all.

[ohiogreg64]

Would have loved to had a piece of USC one more time this year some place other than in Southern California.

[slackercapt]

Was this the last time that D Ohio State beat Southern Cal WOW !!! it doesnt matter that D Ohio State beat Oregon one game just like the Buckeyes say USC was lucky on Sept 12 and USC did lose other games but remendber the NAVY game Buckeyes !!! and look at youre non conference schuedule 2010 so now youre one and one in the PAC 10 think if you played in the conference would win it losing to PURDUE please !

[takeurlumps]

You can throw out both teams losses in a game like this. The only thing that matters is what goes on this game. Turnovers will be key and Ohio State has dominated in that department all year. Oregon....not so much.

WE SHALL SEE. I like the Buckeyes in this one!

[1usc2]

if usc can beat ohio this year, then anyone can. usc sucks this year and they still beat the big ten champ. that says a lot.

[ohiogreg64]

I went to the game this year and was disgusted. You could absolutely see that USC wasn't as good as Ohio State and the Buckeyes choked! Disgusting! Shouldn't have happened and many fans wanted to lynch the coaches. I predicted that USC would lose several games and they lost more than that. If Ohio State comes out relaxed and confident against Oregon they'll be fine...if they are uptight because of all the national garbage that has been going on...could be another story.

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@1usc2 ...and now you look like a fucking idiot

[1usc2]

the only fucking i do is your mother!

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@1usc2 ...that comeback was so gay and lame ...dude google couldv helped you out better

[1usc2]

Thank you for the advice genetic. I did utilize google and the only thing that came up was, usc 18 and osu 15. Weird huh? Thanks genetic douche.

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@1usc2 i meant comebacks but i guess your dyslexic and cant read ...go figure...i found Ohio State Wins Rose bowl and USC ...wins some bowl idk it wasnt BCS or even worth playin though

[1usc2]

First you bring in the lame and the gays. Now you're getting dyslexics involved? I was complimenting you and all you can do is continue to make "jokes" (term "jokes" used loosely). I have read that USC has beaten osu the past two years with an inferior team. Please keep your comments addressed to me and not involve anyone else. I am white (Irish-Scottish decent) so go ahead and start getting racial while your at it.

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@1usc2 ..im irish too you fuck so i have nothing on you there and USC got lucky if anything if they played USC now the way pryor played at the rose bowl USC wouldnt even be elegible for that shitty i think it was emerald bowl

[1usc2]

You mean eligible! Your spelling is atrocious. My name is GeneticRealityDouche and I spel lik a forth gradeher. I will not continue to argue with a child. Do your parents know you are using their computer? You should ask for permission first.

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@1usc2 ... im 17 and im german my english literature isnt perfect you cock sucker

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@1usc2 your the one typing like an ignorant child who and you need to learn to spell check your first sentence you spelled my name wrong and you spelled spell wrong =D

[tommytrojan09]

@GeneticRealityFilms

I will say, whoever represents the PAC 10 in the Rose Bowl this year: Stanford,Oregon,Arizona.

Most likely it will be the Oregon ducks. They WILL DEFEAT the buckeyes!

Ohio State would love nothing more than to have payback against USC in the Rose Bowl,

and they had their chance to defeat a vulnerable USC at home and didn't get the job done.

2010 rose bowl game outlook: Ohio State 17 Oregon Ducks 47 Final

[MrMichigan95]

I agree. If Oregon goes to the Rose Bowl plays like they did against USC, it is absolutely inevitible that Oreogn will beat down the Buckeyes.

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@MrMichigan95 yeah howed that go again?

[FooCards88]

You FAIL too Wolverdouche.

[BuckeyefanHill33]

wow are you kidding??? oregon hasn't faced a defense in the pac 10 and they definately haven't faced a defense more hungry than ohio states and oregon doesn't have a defense..itll be a close game IF oregon wins but they have to get by oregon state first..either way, the buckeyes will get it done this year! Tressel will do whatever it takes to win coaching his first rose bowl

[jmaal2345]

@BuckeyefanHill33 and ur right about tressell winning his 1st rosebowl

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@tommytrojan09 Well congrats asshole u lost FAGGOT. Now you dont know SHIT

[1usc2]

There you go involving Gays again.

[FooCards88]

You FAIL faggot.

[MCASE1]

Nice Job. I have the DVD of the game.

[tommytrojan09]

OJ SIMPSON was a great tailback. Heisman trophy winner, 1st NFL back to rush over 2,000 yards!

Despite losing to Ohio State 40 years ago 'SC is dominant once again.

[GeneticRealityFilms]

@tommytrojan09 SC snt dominant i do find it very ironic though that USC beat Ohio State But USC isnt going to the Rose Bowl and Ohio State is

[1usc2]

USC wins two years in a row against osu with a more inferior team. Must be the coaching.

[hoosierlooker]

He runs the 100 in 9.4, especially when the police are chasing him.....

[Nonpeon]

Yeah, but he didn't commit the crime. Marcus Allen knows that for sure, but he's not fessing up because he was having an affair with Nicole at the time despite being married. OJ knew about it, but didn't become enraged as the media tried to portray him (Othello syndrome - what a joke - LOL!!!). Plus there had to be 2 murderers cause one set of wounds was caused by a lefty and the other set by a righty. OJ's a righty. Also Goldman had teeth marks on his fists, but OJ had no marks on his face.

[bucknut46]

haha...back then there were no chest bumps or anything it was all slapping hands...as seen starting at 3:48 and again at 6:55. I guess I can't rip on their celebrations too much...throwing the ball in the stands is pretty hardcore.

I wouldn't seeing a score like this come Sept. 12... :)

[dsfddsgh]

Yeah i'm old enough to remember when players didn't act like jackasses when they made a routine play like sacking the quarterback or tackling someone.

[BIGBUCK20]

"Hurry up Sloopy"???? WTF Curt Goudy!

[bucknut46]

LOL!!! That's too funny!

[dcbandnerd]

@BIGBUCK20 Gowdy obviously had his finger on the pulse of pop music in the 1960s

[jmaal2345]

ohio state is da best

[Nonpeon]

WAS.......

[xxtwilight2nightxx]

at the begining, this that in n out? ahahahahahaha my great grandpa played in the rose bowl in 1916 so i guess thats why my grandpa always eats there.............

[ragusajr]

OJ , yeah he is a runner and a slasher. Must be proud USC alumni

[sherlockbones16]

SC sucks!! Always has and always will !!!!

[natlvedave50]

yea suck it now bitch! fight on! 2010 BCS national champions!

[rapiddominace]

@ 4:24 - gloves musta been too tight

[rapiddominace]

maybe they should have used him more...so as to bleed out the clock

[oneputtsteven]

Great call by Gowdy, totally professional, God I miss Lindsey Nelson, Keith Jackson, Jack Buck, Chris Schenkel Jim McKay et al. Those guys were the BEST!

I'm from the Midwest so I am glad the Buckeyes kicked butt. Glad to see the Juice cough it up/fumble on those tough Buckeyes hits.

[tomloft2000]

yea he may not have known who the Beatles were.

[mdumas43073]

"Hurry Up, Sloopy"?

I guess Curt Gowdy wasn't exactly plugged in to pop culture.

[BillyBong05]

That's sad considering Hang on Sloopy was probably a fairly new song then

[hazelwood55]

(1:20) Look at that murderer run. He must have imagined the police were after him. Rot in jail juice.

[hoosierlooker]

The story goes that Woody was livid at his defensive coach Lou Holtz about O.J.'s 80 yard touchdown at halftime. Woody bellowed, "Why did Simpson run 80 yards against us?" Holtz reportdly said, "That's as far as he had to go."

[oneputtsteven]

So Lou Holtz was the defensive coach of the Buckeyes!? Didn't know that. Hilarious story if it's true, and knowing Holtz it probably was.

[ecapital46]

I was 10 years old growing up in Ohio when this game was played. #1 Ohio State had its best team in years and was favored. Before the game my Dad kept warning me that even if Ohio State wins, a running back for USC named O J Simpson was gonna break one big time sometime during the game. He kept repeating, "trust me, he's going to break one big." I have an indelible memory of my father screaming "there he goes" when O J cut loose for that 80 yard TD run. Its one of my earliest TV sports memories.

[shano58]

way to live in the past. 35-3 Better luck next year Bucktards.

[soggy455555]

who is ur favorite college football team?

[tallison1965]

Would like to see you post the 2008 game of USC and OSU... that would be sweet!

[EOverhultz]

At :34, "The Assassin" takes out a future assassin.

[A7XDark]

@EOverhultz Ahahaha that was great! R.I.P. Jack Tatum

[reds2468]

I believe you can actually buy the entire NBC broadcast of this game thru the Ohio State Buckeyes athletic department.

[Aenigma71489]

Go Bucks

[jeepman121]

Yeah it's pretty sweet to have a bowl game match up in week 3!! GO BUCKS!!!

[kkOSU27]

Keep Up the Good WOrk in the Situation Room!
