The Coach Who Took a Chance in a Last Minute USC Victory
John McKay faced reporters in silence as his USC Trojans overcame a seven point deficit in the final minutes to beat California by five.

Rod Sherman connected on a late TD pass to seal the win over UCLA alumnus, with McKay’s calm demeanor and refusal to settle for a draw highlighted as the defining choice of the game.
