Continuing with ESPN’s The 100, it’s time for the next USC moment:
USC fourth-string quarterback Doyle Nave, who had played 28 minutes all season, came off the bench in the last two minutes and completed four passes to Al Krueger, the last a 19-yard touchdown pass, as the Trojans stunned Duke, 7-3, in the 1939 Rose Bowl. Why “stunned”? Those were the only points the Blue Devils allowed all season.

[...] At any rate, almost 70 years after #66, we have the “Bush Push.” (And by the way, these videos from the Notre Dame student section are not to be missed.) Notre Dame fans had spilled onto the field to celebrate a 31-28 victory over No. 1 USC when the officials restored :07 to the clock. The Trojans had the ball inside the Irish 1.
