A little history
Our resident football historian adds some light to the question of whether anyone rushed for a touchdown for and against USC.
Clarence Harvey, who played RHB for SC in 1945, came to USC from UCLA. I don't know if he scored touchdowns for either school. And there are other guys who might have.
I do know, however, of an interesting field goal situation, which used to be listed in the media guide before the guide had to be downsized. On November 6, 1909, Courtney Decius kicked a 45-yard field goal for USC at Occidental. That set a USC field goal record for distance that lasted until Chris Limahelu's 47-yard field goal against Ohio State in the 1974 Rose Bowl. Decius also held, for many years, the record for most field goals in a single game AGAINST USC. Playing for Los Angeles High School, Decius, on October 10, 1908, kicked three field goals (then worth four points each) against USC, two from the 35-yard line near the sidelines, and one from the 27-yard line. That record, tied several times, stood for 65 years, until Nov. 10, 1973, when Rod Garcia kicked four field goals for Stanford against the Trojans.
Good to see USC Hall of Famer Loel Schrader's still contributing.
Posts like this are why I still read this blog despite the always-crappy attitude and TMZ-type gossip crap that always seems to be on here. This is great post.
In the next couple seasons, we could see buth Emanuel Moody and Mitch Mustain do the same.
