1967 USC vs UCLA

Top-ranked UCLA (7-0-1) visited #2 USC (8-1) in late November of 1967. With the Bruins owning a 20-14 advantage in the 4th quarter, USC quarterback Toby Page audibled the play call to 23-Red Blast, a handoff to running back O.J. Simpson. The Juice went up the middle, cut to the left sideline, then all the way back across the field to the right corner of the endzone--a 64 yard touchdown run that John McKay called the greatest snap he'd ever coached. USC won, 21-20, and went on to the Rose Bowl to beat #4 Indiana, winning McKay his second national championship in six years. UCLA QB Gary Beban would win the 1967 Heisman, followed in 1968 by O.J. Simpson.

That's one thing that can never be taken away from OJ. He is one of the best running backs in football history,

This was the greatest game I ever saw. Beban was running a truly modern offensive attack and therefore was exposed to a lot of hits. His ribs were injured. The USC defense kept penetrating and sacking him. Beban kept limping off the field.

Simpson's run crystalized how well he could run and cut back on the defense. He ran 64 yards untouched.

I've met Toby Page before. What an Arrogant person that man is. He reminds me of Al Bundy. He will tell you about this game every chance he gets. Yo' Toby your not as big of a legend as you think you are!

[Finarphin]

That was a great game, one of the best. Tremendous build-up, lots of drama, a lot of offense, even if the score wasn't so high. Lead changes. Simpson's run.
