Can you help me out with great CFB moments?

[iowajerms]

Can you help me? I know this is an off-season thread but I want to start it this year.

On a blog, I am wanting to start a On this day in CFB history blog where I give a description of a "game of the century", big upset, big play, big moment, etc. on the day it happened. I want to have at least one for every day. Still trying to figure out what I am going to do for Jan. 1st, with countless moments.

Here's what I have so far. Help me out. Be a homer, be a troll. I am more concerned with filling out the days than New Years Day moments. I also don't want "Ohio State beat SMU on 9/28/1974".

After 50 posts in one day, it asks "Are you a person and not a robot" pop up thing and makes it harder to type in it, or I would have more.

Look up Kenny Wheaton the pick. UW @ UO 1994. October 22nd

Changed the rivalry and the Oregon football program. May be a local thing, but good for what you are looking for

*edit for date

 

[trojanfan12]

November 30, 1974 USC vs. Notre Dame - USC overcomes a 24-0 deficit to win 55-24 in the "Anthony Davis Game."

 

[WhiteMamba]

Not to troll SC fans as this isn't meant to. But top ranked USC teams losing in Corvallis has some great history.

@mrwallace2ku or some of the Trojan fans may help ya with dates and years. I believe it has happened 3 times.

What was the record that they broke? I would actually be more interested in that then their final win. I do have the week after the OU-Mizzou.

74th Conference Game in a Row without a loss.

 

[Bamabino]

Jan. 1, 1946 Rose Bowl. Bama 34 USC 14. Bama makes USC's asses quit, take their ball and run home, and tie in with the Big10 for all future Rose Bowls. Probly the single most important day in college football history, shaping the landscape of college football forever.


"This was the last Rose Bowl game played with "at large" teams from outside the Pac-8/Big 10 conferences. These two elite conferences openly admitted restricting the Rose Bowl, because they were tired of getting beaten by teams playing "hillbilly ball". The same reason they cited for not inviting them pre-1920."
