Highlights from 1973 game: 1973 - USC 42 Ohio State 17
One of Johnny McKay's greatest USC teams (11-0) wins the national
championship by trouncing Woody Hayes' 9-1 Ohio State 42-17. Human
torpedo Sam Cunningham zooms into the end zone four times for
touchdowns. Bigger, faster and more talented USC dominates despite a
Buckeye lineup that has Archie Griffin, destined to start in the Rose
Bowl four straight years; leading national scorer fullback Champ Henson,
Neal Colzie, Randy Gradishar and others. Anthony Davis carries 23 times
for 157 yards, USC quarterback Mike Rae completes 18 of 25 passes for
229 yards, receivers Charles Young and Lynn Swann catch six aerials
each, linebacker Richard Wood makes 10 tackles. Twenty-three Trojans
from this great team go into pro football.
