Carl Greenwood batting down a Ty Detmer pass in the end zone to seal a Bruin victory. That was my first game ever and I've been hooked ever since.

...in '93. I was a student then and at the Coliseum. The tension was ridiculous, the winner going to the Rose Bowl, and USC, down by 6, having just driven about 70+ yards (mostly on a bomb to an inexplicably uncovered Johnnie Morton), only needing a tie to win the conference. Sheer pandemonium when Goodwin cut off that pass and sealed the game. We were jumping all over each other, hugging and kissing random strangers (some even of the opposite gender), doing 8-claps and formulating our Rose Bowl plans.
And, hey, I even attended the '94 Rose Bowl despite being offered a month's rent for my ticket within 30' of the Pauley box office window. Sadly, though, that game didn't leave quite the same memories.

#2 SUC goes down in flames when Eric McNeal deflects then intercepts John David Booty's pass in 2006. One of the most amazing picks ever. I was hoarse for days after that one.
Then there's John Barnes tossing TDs to JJ... |

My favorite play was Freeman McNeils catch of a deflected pass from quarterback Jay Schroeder. Who tipped it.... USC defensive back Jeff Fisher. Yes, the former Titans's coach. McNeil turned it up field and 57 yards later touchdown UCLA, which gave the Bruins' a 20-17 win over the Toejams. Freeman was golden at Banning, at UCLA and with the Jets. Unfortunately, he played for the Jets when he and Johnny Hector were all they had.
I also remember everyone bailing out of the Rose Bowl, including my former college roommates that only heard the roar of the crowd.......

I wasn't at the Bowl that night but was watching on TV. JJ was a beast on that play and just blew by that trogan.
Barnes was so cool in that pocket. |
