Here;s USC running back Todd Spencer gains yardage in the 1981 Crosstown Rivalry against UCLA. No. 32 is UCLA safety Tom Sullivan.
You took my advice when I said on a previous blog you need to show the great USC running back running through the ruin’s defense as all did the rb’s from USC routinely do.
If I remember he was never tackled for a loss or no gain.He was like the woody hayes fullbacks …3 yards and a cloud of dust …
Very good fullback, big TD run on trap at ND that year … move to TB next year didn’t work
Back in the 70’s that is how they rotated the rb’s. They started as a full back and then went to tail back after the tail back graduated, the fullback would take his place. They did that with Ricky Bell. He started as a lber, then a full back and then finally tailback. Same thing with Marcus Allen who ran in front of Charlie White.
or flip it around like with Lynn Cain going from tb to fb … that 1974 title team what fullbacks ! Dave Farmer, Ricky Bell, and Mosi Taputu
Did those guys work out?
Skinny arms allowed as a freshman, maybe….
Tom Sullivan was a tough safety, very good as was the other safety Don Rodgers , they were hitters
Pre-steroids?
Probably but I’m curious to see how the weight and conditioning was back then.
Was there even a coach for that?
that was a great game just like 1980 and 1982 … Marcus fumbled too many times in 81 game but D came up big with late pick by Troy West and George Achica blocking that last play FG !
