Ohio State 42 USC 21

Woody Hayes gets revenge in a complete turnaround as his 9-0-1 Ohio Staters trounce Johnny McKay's 9-1-1 USC Trojans 42-21. Hayes' quarterback Cornelius Greene unleashes a selective aerial game that paves the way for the running and bolting of backs like Archie Griffin, Pete Johnson and Greene himself. Ohio State has only a 449-406 total yardage edge at the finish to actually lead 21-20 before Greene bullets to Fred Pagtack and runs by Neal Colzie, Johnson (three touchdowns for the day), Griffin (a 47-yard scoring spring and 149 yards for the game) and Greene break it open. Chris Limahelu kicks 47 and 42-yard field goals for USC. USC gets strong contributions from quarterback Pat Haden (21 for 39 passing), receiver J.K. McKay, Anthony Davis, Lynn Swann, Rod McNeil, Manny Moore, Charlie Phillips. Michigan's linemen featuring John Hicks on offense and Van DeCree on defense prevail.
