@Gl16619 Hold up on the criticism of Mazur. First of all, it was tough having to hand off the ball thru out the game, asked to manage the game.. THEN, at a moment's notice, be expected to change the game, by creating a rhythm and throwing the ball all over the yard...TO WIN the game. A high expectation, he not only met, but exceeded. I don't know what you were watching, but when we needed first downs on 3rd and long in the fouth quarter Maz was clutch.. EVERYTIME, ON EVERY THROW!!! That 3rd and long throw from the left hash, ALL the way across the field, that gained 26 yards, in front of AND between THREE defenders, WAS ABSOLUTE GENIUS I!! To have the poise to stand in the box and hit Malcolm Moore in the chest, in stride, over the middle, was excuted to perfection. And lastly..to kept his head about him and have the presence of mind to run for the game winning touchdown only in a micro second to flip the ball to Cornwell to win the game, not only showed his great decision making, but also revealed his team first mentality. He choose a great play over a good play. He may not have had the lofty numbers, profile or opportunities of other great SC Q.B's like Pete Bethard, Bill Nelson, Graig Fertig, Jimmy Jones, Mike Rae, Pat Haden, Vince Evans, Rob Hertel, Paul McDonald, Rodney Peete, Rob Johnson, Carson Palmer, Matt Lenart, Sammy D, or Caleb. But on THAT day, he etched himself forever into the lore of what it means to be an Great Trojan Quarterback, as he brought us back from the edge of defeat to the thrill of victory. I am extremely proud to call him my teammate and my friend. ✌️

loved this game....Marcus made cover of SI that week.

Great video. Full games are so much better than the edited down versions. Have been looking for the full versions of the 1981 and 1982 USC - UCLA games. Would appreciate it if you can post those if you come around to some copies.

@@maineiac13 Thank you very much for posting. Love watching the older USC games. Look forward to anything you put up.

230 lb center. Those were the days.

I was in the 8th grade when this game was played. It turned me into a college football junkie.

The way this game was televised led to a lawsuit by Oklahoma and Georgia that changed the future of broadcasting the next season.

Do you know more about that lawsuit? I would love to read about it

Neither one of these teams lived up to early season hype especially Oklahoma.

I don't understand: 1) why the wishbone offense dissappeared - 2) Why the NFL never ran the wishbone offense

Because it’s one dimensional…you just put 7 defender’s up front and almost all the holes are covered…no where for a runner to go…most of the play are run in that offense…very easy to defend when all you have is one assignment, stop the run..…it makes more sense to have offenses with different looks, formations and play to keep the defense off balance…plus, your punishing your running back to have them run and get hit on every play…in modern football especially with coaches who are use to pass oriented offenses, your probably never see anyone go back to a straight wishbone offense…you still see occasionally where the snap will go directly to the running back which is the wildcat…but no team would make that it primary offensive acheme

Miami Hurricanes...defenses became faster and bigger than offenses, killed my beloved wishbone

BOOMER!!!!

It’s no surprise John Mazur never made the pros…horrible arm with no accuracy
