USC 25 Tennessee 0
Jim Hardy leads USC with two or more touchdown passes (five in two straight Rose Bowl appearance) and scores another on a run as the Trojans (7-0-2) blank Tennessee (7-0-1) by a 25-0 score. Jeff Cravath's Trojans score in the opening moments when Jim Callanan carries in a punt blocked by John Ferraro and in the game's last moments when Hardy passes to Doug MacLachlan. Hardy also is a skillful punter, placing three out of bounds inside the 10. All this despite the fact Hardy plays with the flu and a stomach disorder. Don Burnside gains 116 yards in 12 carries for USC.
