re: What was so great about the 79 USC vs. LSU game

As many good tailbacks as USC had in those days, this guy was my favorite one out of all of them. My 2nd fav team back in the day as USC. My dad's still pissed about me liking them because because of the outcome/circumstances of the 79 LSU/So Cal game.

If you are a Davis fan watch clips from the 1974 ND game.

AT that time Hiesman ballots were due before the SC-ND game (he finished second). he surely would have won.

On November 30, 1974, he started an amazing rally which brought the USC Trojans back from a 24-0 second quarter deficit against #4 ranked Notre Dame to a 55-24 win. Just before halftime he scored on a 7 yard lateral pass from quarterback Pat Haden. Davis found paydirt a second time on a 102-yard kickoff return to open the second half. With only 3:25 elapsed in the third quarter Davis scored a third touchdown on a 6 yard run. Then with still 8:37 left in the same quarter, Davis added his fourth and final touchdown of the game on a 4 yard dash, dropped to his knees, went into his "endzone dance", then added a two-point conversion and the Trojans had the lead 27-24. Incredibly, Davis had scored 26 of the Trojans' first 27 points.
