This was a big game for me with Southern Cal. The loss of this game prevented Southern Cal from finishing the regular season at #4 with a 8-2-1 record, and instead left them with a 7-3-1 record.
In the final minute of the game down 40-39 and the ball on the goaline, a run play to the 15 speed halfback was called. It was 3rd down on the goaline, and a loss or no gain would have meant a short, basically automatic field goal and a win either way.
However it happened, the wrong play was run, and the handoff went to the slower FB who fumbled the ball, and Nebraska83 recovered, and ran the clock out.
These two teams were set to meet in a post season bowl game, which was never played.
