Both ABC and CBS had prime games on this Saturday. ABC had a one hour jump as this game started at 8 PM ET while Notre Dame/Michigan started at 9 PM on CBS. NBC had the Miss America Pageant that night.
I remember a UCLA defensive back nearly killed Dana Brinson coming across the middle that day. I saw Dana with a blond on each arm at the team hotel that night so I knew he was gonna live lol. He got hit so hard he swallowed his mouthpiece and he told me "I wouldnt recommend playin football to anyone...its rough out there! "
RIP Coach Donahue. The 80's were the golden era of Bruins football
When football was more fun, more strategic. They played DEFENSE then. And most players got there degrees before moving on.
Why you need a STUPID degree to play in the NFL????

As always, much appreciated, sir! Thanks so much for this! Your content is awesome!
I would rather watch these than the games we have witnessed the last couple seasons.
Agreed.
U.C.L.A. had the best uniforms back then.
My uncle Erik is the dude getting married at 1:24:30. Always fun to see.
Back when UCLA actually had fans in the stands.
Wish I knew where to find that opening song. ABC used a variation of it for everything through the end of the decade.
Nebraska 28
UCLA 41
Take that 1st quarter and put it in a time bottle.....it was about as well as any team can possibly place.
I liked Keith Jackson paired with Bob Griese better than Frank Broyles.
