Barnes To Stokes

Uploaded by rongee on Jul 11, 2007
1992 UCLA (5-5, unranked) vs. USC (6-2-1, #15) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. With 4:14 left in the game, the score is tied 31-31 after the Bruins were down by 14 earlier in the fourth quarter. A Trojan punt pins the Bruins deep into their own territory, back on the four yard line. Two successive running plays bring the ball out six yards to the 10 yard line. On 3rd & 4, fourth-string walk-on quarterback John Barnes makes a ballsy play and lofts a pass to J.J. Stokes, who jukes past one defender and carries another into the end zone for the go ahead touchdown. Although USC comes back to score another TD, they miss the two point conversion attempt (props to the Trojans, at least, for not going for the tie). Bruins win 38-37.
A number of well-known players participated in this game. USC had Rob Johnson at quarterback, Curtis Conway & Johnnie Morton at wide receiver, and Jason Sehorn on defense. For the Bruins, J.J. Stokes (of course), Sean LaChapelle, and Mike Nguyen were the receivers and Kevin Williams was the running back. The stout defense included Bruce Walker, Othello Henderson, Jamir Miller, Donnie Edwards, Carlton Gray, and Nkosi Littleton.
Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times wrote a nice article on John Barnes on the 10th year anniversary of this game. You can find it here:

@drrll13 big deal. a minor issue which had no bearing on the fact that USC's defensive backs were little incompetent rats and couldn't keep Stokes from taking it 90 yards right in their faces.

Best UCLA vs. USC game ever! I was sitting on the 5 yard line in section 1 of the Rose Bowl. I distinctly remember the talk at our pre-game tailgate party, about how our walkon QB (John Barnes) was starting against our crosstown rival USC & we weren't sure how he would do. Well, he & the rest of the team showed the trojans what belief in yourself can do for you. Awesome!

I am looking for footage on Sean Conway. He is a center who will be playing college football for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers this fall.

that should have come back! thats a false start on the tailback!

According to the NCAA football rules:
"One player may be in motion, but not in motion toward his opponents goal line. A lineman may not be in motion at the snap. Other players must be stationary in their positions without movement of the feet, body, head or arms ... ."
As the tailback wasn't moving forward (man in motion), and as long as he wasn't trying to simulate the beginning of a play (and that would have to be at the interpretation of the ref), he should be OK.

that is Jason Oliver on D for USC, not Jason Sehorn

I know, but Jason Sehorn was also on the USC team during that year and played in that game (if you'd have watched a replay of the entire game, you'd know that). I was just mentioning players of note from both teams; Jason Oliver, IMO, didn't fit that description.

I was at the game as well, sitting in the alumni section in the southeast corner of the Rose Bowl. This game remains my all-time favorite, not only for the way both teams fought back & forth, but for the story of how John Barnes rose from total obscurity to put on an absolutely stunning performance.
This game is scheduled to be rebroadcast by Fox Sports Prime Ticket this Saturday, 7/28/07, from 1AM-3AM.
