Trojan-Buckeye Flashback

By Scott Wolf on September 7, 2008 1:01 PM | | Comments (1) |

Even though Ohio State fell to No. 5 in the rankings, this will still be the highest ranked Buckeye team to face the Trojans since 1980 Rose Bowl, when USC defeated a top-ranked Ohio State team 17-16, on Charles White's late one-yard touchdown run.
That touchdown capped a memorable drive when White rushed for 71 yards on USC's 8-play, 83-yard drive.
Prior to that drive, USC coach John Robinson told assistant coach Paul Hackett over the headphones, ``if you call any pass plays, you're fired.''
