I remember that game. It was at Alabama. USC won 24-14 I think. But physically the game wasn't even close. Alabama made a ton of mistakes. I think C. White had close to 200 yds.
The one game USC lost that year was at Arizona St. 20-6 or 20-7. That week they lost their starting center. Then during the game they lost their backup center. So now they're on their emergency center who was a converted defensive lineman. They fumbled away 3-4 snaps and dropped some others that McDonald just had to fall on. The offense was out of sink and they played terrible.But that was the one loss. ASU was good and that was a tough place to play back then.

I think USC still had to go down and score. They didn't just put 7 pts. on the board after the penalty. It was within the rules for LSU to stop them from scoring.

Except he admitted he btushed his facemask enough to cause his head to turn.

No it was a split crew Pac-10/sec. USC still had to go down and score.

I was there as a student, greatest atmosphere in Tiger Stadium history. The USC offensive lineman raised up on the face mask penalty play, the play should have been blown dead before the supposed face mask. That blown call probably cost us the game. I believe USC would have had 4th and long at that point. What many don't talk about is the pep rally on the Parade Ground the night before the game. Paul Dietzel's son Steve had the crowd go meet the USC buses as they came in for their walk thru. The crowd surrounded the USC busses and started rocking them. John Robinson would not let the team off the bus. It was a wild and epic scene. In 65 years, I've yet to see anything like that whole weekend. Only at LSU. Let's beat their azz Sunday.

SC coach John Robinson said Charles White was the toughest player he ever coached. This was back in the day when USC locked-up all the top So Cal talent.
I also read that after the game some Trojan fans, including older fans, were roughed-up in the parking lots. Can anybody confirm if that was true.
