This is great! Graduated in 1986, '87 was my first year in Northern California, I joined North CAs for NE, the game was usually on AM radio out of Sacramento and I'd go out and drive closer to Sacramento to be able to listen to the game. Thank you for posting, this is great!
Thanks @steelbuck! #GBR but damn, the way the ball comes outta Aikman's hands was ridiculous. And that Bruin team was loaded. This NU team jumped to #1 and lost to #2 Oklahoma, 17-7 later this season.
Plus Nebraska became Future Champions as well in in the 90's Winning 3 National Championships. Plus The '95 Nebraska Team is the Greatest Football Team Ever. :)
UCLA had Troy Aikman, Ken Norton, and James Washington who would end up playing together for those 90s Dallas Cowboys teams that won those Super Bowls....also had Carnell Lake who played for Pittsburgh when they met Dallas in Super Bowl 30...Amazing they even lost any games at all
Interesting how you can forget how this played out. I recalled the score and the 5 TD passes for Steve Taylor (my favorite at the time), but I had forgotten the lead was 42-17 at some point. I would like to forget the 1988 return match, especially the 1st quarter.
Shocked watching this how many plays were called with Aikman running out of an option look and taking hits. He got crushed on the Bruins’ first TD. I thought Terry Donahue ran a pro-style offense. I still hate how the Steelers won three of its last four in 1988 to go from 2-10 to 5-11 and fall out of the Aikman sweepstakes.
@@trr3160 The talent in Southern California at that time was amazing. Sadly neither school can compete in today’s world. When Utah and Oregon State can outrecruit you???? That’s pretty bad🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
@@williamjonesiii4670 USC and UCLA both fought like crazy to get the most talented kids in California. Now? Neither school can even recruit California which is a travesty🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿 Everybody is leaving for either Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oregon and the rest of the SEC😮😮😮😮
@@soulpatrolhawaii5409. The Talent in Southern California was Crazy👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 Hopefully it can get back to the Kids staying to play for both Schools instead of being poached away by everyone else.
