I'm actually really excited about this game. I was born in 1983, so the last two regular season match ups were just before my time. I was too young to remember the Aloha Bowl. This is a throwback game featuring two of the blue bloods of college football. I do hope it's a great game.
Some things I remember about the 1985 Aloha Bowl:
The game was on ESPN and played in the afternoon on a sunny day in Hawaii. However, due to the time difference, we had to watch it in the evening here.
Rodney Peete--who went on to have a very long NFL career--was the qb for the trojans in that game and struggled mightily against our D. Mike Shula threw 2 TD passes in the game, and I am pretty sure one was to Al Bell.
Harry Kalas--famous for his NFL Game of the Week and Highlights Shows narration--was the play-by-play announcer.
We were fortunate to catch SC while they were down that year(I think they finished 6-6 with that bowl loss and Ted Tollner was fired either the following year or 87)
