USC-UCLA: Setting the table on ESPN Classic, Prime Ticket

I covered the Trojans-Bruins game 20 years ago -- the Rodney Peete measles game -- and after reading Jill Painter's flashback of it today (linked here) I wish I could see it again.

Neither ESPN Classic nor Fox Sports Net comes through. Close, but no.

Instead, the repeats starting today that head into Saturday's game at 1:30 p.m. (Channel 7) (a link to the rivalry here) are from other years, other times.

Such as:

Today, 11 a.m., ESPN Classic: Nov. 18, 1967: USC 21, UCLA 20: As Chris Schenkel described the O.J. Simpson cut-back touchdown: "Sixty-four thrilling, captivating, collegiate-football yards!" Huh? (Wikipedia recap here).

Today, 2 p.m., ESPN Classic: Nov. 21, 1981: USC 22, UCLA 21: Marcus Allen runs for 219 yards and two touchdowns as he heads for a Heisman trophy. (Repeated, Dec. 10, 8 a.m.)
