Great football days .
Nebraska had a fenced in dugout behind the end zone. Crazy
Love that the background music is fight songs.
I grew up on 90’s and 00’s football, but love to watch the history about the game.
Whaooo Nelly….
Not much parity but there were some bad*ss football programs at the top of the food chain during the 70s, 1973 being the pinnacle.
In the final regular season poll, the top six schools were unbeaten:
Alabama (11–0),
Oklahoma (10–0–1),
Notre Dame (10–0),
Ohio State (9–0–1),
Michigan (10–0–1),
Penn State (11–0).
USC(9-1-1)was#7 with a loss to ND and a tie with OU ,Texas(8-2) was#8 including a loss to OU and Nebraska(8-2-1) was #12 also losing to OU.
These are the bluebloods here.
One of my favorite things back in the 70's was to watch Bill Flemming's Sunday morning college football highlights show. It was the only way to see footage of college teams that were never on one of the major networks. Matchups like Kansas vs. Iowa State, or Indiana vs. Northwestern.
wasn't jack tatum a safety
Excellent!
I want to see something like this: the running back had 3.8 yards per attempt and was 4.0 in the classroom.
At 7:15, BIll says Jim Plunkett's record for total offense may never be broken.
Oops.
John Elway did it in 1982, and Plunkett now ranks 42nd on that list.
On ABC's halftime show, I always remember Dave Diles working in score for Division III Slippery Rock.
1970's greatest decade for both sports and movies.
UofM though very frustrating 72,73,74 went 32-2-1 no bowl games and lost every bowl they were in Rose 71,76,77,78, Gator bowl 79.
USC had great teams
Pitt and Nebraska as well.
Today cfb is strictly Alabama Clemson Ohio St maybe Oklahoma everyone else is irrelevant.
Great video. I much prefer college over the pro game.
I remember the voice; I did not remember the name. He is apparently not related to another famous Fleming TV personality – the man who in my opinion will ALWAYS be the host of Jeopardy! – Art Fleming.
In the 70s only 1 team from the Big10 and Pac8 could go to a bowl game and that was the Rose Bowl. No bowl games for teams that finished 2nd 3rd and 4th. Also unlimited scholarships teams such as Notre Dame,USC,Alabama,Texas, OhioSt,Michigan,PennSt,Oklahoma, and Nebraska would hoard as many recruits as possible as many as 150 players at times.
Keith Jackson and Bill Fleming were college football.
I wonder when this video was produced. They referred to Stanford as "The Cardinal." Back when Jim Plunkett won the Heisman trophy, Stanford was still known as the "Indians."
That is sooo cool Tim. THANK'S!!
Rogers averaged 13.9 yards every time he touched the ball!
Great vid could you post the notre dame game please
2:35 Hopefully Caleb doesn't choke like he did here.
2:41:05 that is a beautiful song by the OSU band. What is it called?
It’s crazy how OU fans say grinch is a terrible d coordinator but the tackling effort by these OU players are piss poor grinch can’t put that dawg in you you gotta already have it like how the safety get stiffed armed by a QB
Oh, man, Herbstreit and Fowler were yanking off the Sooners all game long. Soooooo good to see them have to eat crow. What a game. GO POKES!!!!
Not a fan of either team, just a college football fan in general. Thank you both teams for one heck of a great game. Sooo enjoyed it. Great great entertainment.
If only spencer rattler remained a starter then it would’ve been the clash of the spencers
Excited to see what this defense looks like for Ohio State.
ANY Sooners fan whos cries about bad refs should go back to 14:30 on this video. IN ANY OTHER UNIVERSE that catch WOULD BE A TOUCHDOWN .Especially if that game were in Norman and an OU player was the receiver. OSU got CHEATED out of 6 points. Sooo .. a few plays Sanders ran it RIGHT UP OU's BACKSIDE for a TD,
I hated to see a loser, but great game Cowboys!
you can see OU coach lincoln riley so preoccupied with USC job. OU team was distracted/not focused, OU team looked disheveled not determined…OSU looked ready, exact, focused. Some homer calls came our way, that's how it goes when high stakes are played at your stadium. that's not front page news! Everything i said against OU is everything that happened to OSU against Baylor in Big XII Championship Game
This team will be a forgettable they won there last game against OU THATS IT 11-3 sad. Terrible players and coaches that either get hurt Easly or can’t coach worry a shit. Spencer sanders is a joke!!! Proud of the defense. But the offense is so worthless you just want to forget the 4 downs they get stuffed and choked away a big 12 title!!!!
Hey! I love what you are doing, but would you be able to create a Playlist for each year? That way certain games in certain years can be found faster and more easily.
You guys suck the last time you beat us was what 2000 and never
watch the play starting at 1:33:05… pass to Green over the middle and appears to get the first down. ref spots the ball a yard back and OSU doesn't get the first down and settles for a FG attempt (which they missed). No one questioned the ball spot.
🤠
I agree with the announcers that college refs let corners and other defenders actually cover the defender. Despite the slight push off by the Sooner TE 41:00 in, no defensive PI was called because the throw by Williams was good enough the receiver was going to catch it anyway. Using common and situational sense is something NFL regs are capable of doing.
Great job osu
No ads?
Best game I’ve ever been too🍊🔫 ****ou forever
