1967 USC (#2 in the nation) vs. UCLA (#1 in the nation).
Battle for the National Championship.
USC's O.J. Simpson vs. UCLA's Heisman winner, Gary Beban.
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home to both teams at that time.
The nation's first game to earn the moniker, "Game of The Century", used in modern-day journalistic lingo.
Nationally televised.
Broadcast on ABC Sports, announcer was the late (and greatest) Keith Jackson, who later said this game was the greatest college football game he had ever seen in his life.
Final score: USC - 21.....UCLA - 20.
USC Trojans....#1 and NATIONAL CHAMPIONS FOR 1967!!
