OJ Simpson’s USC Jersey: A Legendary Piece of Football History

An Iconic Era in College Football

OJ Simpson’s time at the University of Southern California (USC) is etched in the annals of college football history. As a Heisman Trophy winner, Simpson led the nation in rushing during both of his seasons at USC. His remarkable achievements include rushing for 1,543 yards and 13 touchdowns in 1967, and an astounding 1,880 yards on 383 carries in 1968. These feats not only highlight his exceptional talent but also underscore his pivotal role in USC’s football legacy.

The Victory Bell Game: A Defining Moment

One of the most memorable moments in Simpson’s college career occurred during the 1967 Victory Bell rivalry game against UCLA. With USC trailing by six points in the fourth quarter, Simpson delivered a breathtaking 64-yard touchdown run, securing a 21-20 victory for the Trojans. This play is celebrated as one of the greatest in 20th-century football, showcasing Simpson’s extraordinary athleticism and competitive spirit.
