Since this is NFL Throwback, Keith Jackson was the first voice of ABC NFL Monday Night Football in 1970 (His only season). He’s best known for College Football. This game was in his final season as an announcer. Keith Jackson’s last game ever was on ABC - the National Championship Game between Texas and USC in January 2006. RIP.
the final college game under the ABC Sports banner too. In his final stint (2000-2005) he only covered west coast games with two notable exceptions, for the 100th games of two great rivalries: Michigan-Ohio State (2003, at Michigan Stadium) and Texas-Oklahoma (2005, Cotton Bowl)

@@abreathoffreshsports quit smoking drugs, Dwyane Jarrett and mike Williams were like Calvin Johnson at WR in college, reggie bush was the first of the Alvin kamara as well, and those USC defense would kill any of them SEC teams, 2008 USC defense do your research
The height of college football greatness! I was a sophomore in high school back then and I remember USC and UCLA being must-see TV. Keith Jackson announcing big games man brings back memories
Also shoutout to Marcedes “Big Dawg” Lewis still getting it done in 2022, I believe the only player from this game still active in the NFL. He and Maurice Jones-Drew would end up remaining together after UCLA as they’d become teammates on a pretty solid Jacksonville Jaguars squad for nearly a decade
They were even playing against each other in highschool The Legendary school of De La Salle the team with the Longest Win Streak in ALL of Highschool winning 151 games in a row vs another legendary school Long Beach Poly who sent the most players to the NFL
Reggie, LenDale, along with Matt Leinhart and Coach Pete Carroll were the reason why USC (and the Pac-12) enjoyed a huge resurgence in the early to mid 2000s
Carroll was a joke in retrospect. * 2, 1/2 NCs. * In bowls, lost to Mac Brown, beat Paterno. Carr twice, Zook, Big Lame Bob Stoops (win was vacated), and some guy that you have never heard of in his last bowl win. * Owned only BCS that was vacated
Wow that was a typically epic intro to this game from the incomparable Keith Jackson, may he rest in peace A moment of silence for ABC Sports as well. College football was truly on top of sports in 2005, it overshadowed the NFL all year and of course the Rose Bowl title game, maybe the greatest game ever played, blew away that year’s dreary Super Bowl. 2005 is the last year you can legitimately say that about college football or it’s title game, and perhaps coincidentally it was the last year of ABC Sports as well. A lot of now-lost tradition to be found in this throwback, thanks so much for posting an HD copy!
What. History will have it. Every USC win that season vacated. No fan in the future will look at this season as meaning anything. And the 2004 BCS was the only BCS trophy of the 16 that got rescinded. Carroll, ha, 2, 1/2 NCs.
It's also the game that probably cost USC the national title. Reason being. USC's defense got exposed a little bit that day. The 1 team in the nation shouldn't give up 42 to anyone. Esp to a #16 team. I'm willing to bet that was the game Texas used for their game plain.
@westcoastnative2523 I wouldn't say all that. Texas needed a lot of breaks and a miracle to win rhat game. There was a TD that Vince Young got that shouldn't have counted, dudes knee was clearly down while shoveling a TD pass. Also a drive where Reggie Bush fumbled in the red zone trying to get greedy to get more yards, essentially ruining a perfect drive. It is what is, but bottom line SC hurt themselves more than anything in that game. The self inflicted wounds allowed texas to have a chance the end of the game.
Thank you for uploading this. SC was a special team, and the Bruins weren't slouches either. LA college football was king back then! West Coast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although there was seemingly no need to sell the game, Keith Jackson still sold it perfectly with that measured play-calling. He could have made a middling British gridiron game essential viewing (yes Americans, Great Britain does have a gridiron football league)
SC football 🏈✌️ God USC football was insane u couldn't beat or stop them every Saturday was sold out like a Van Halen concert! Fight on 🏈✌️ rip Eddie van Halen 🤘🎸💯
💥💥 that Texas was good but that team was far from the best college team ever. I can name a bunch of teams off the top of my head that would demolish that 2005 Texas team
@@pp3k3jamail no, no you can't. usc, on a 32 game win streak, 2 straight nattys. Demolished literally everyone except ND one time, still won. Then played Texas. Texas stopped 2 Heisman winners on the same team. and the offense put up 40+ points on an elite defense. there isn't a comparison to what Texas did.
USC just dominated for seven years OMG 😳🏈✌️✌️✌️✌️ nobody could beat USC nobody they made u look stupid out there!!! I'm proud to have been a part of that dominance for seven years we were the Alabama for those seven years time to get back to those days I was @ this game 66-19 UCLA booins JV team had no clue on what hit them! Fight on ✌️🏈🏈🏈 nobody back wanted to play USC cause they knew that they would lose big time they tried beating them hahahaha 🤣😂😂 USC was like a NFL team for sure during those seven years! Fight on ✌️🏈🏈🏈🏈
There was a show on PBS that shows the box that QB has when throwing to a receiver. it is huge because of the receivers ability to extend for the ball. Lendale's had to be 15 feet in any direction. He was fun to watch.

Jackson is the GOAT. Even today I'll watch/rewatch any game he called, even if I don't care about the teams.
Those Saturday afternoon CFB games on ABC back in the 2000’s were truly special.
Those SC teams were so damn stacked. So much future NFL talent
More like future bust😅who really had a good NFL career on that team other than a couple of the LBs?

That has to be a NFL throwback video when they're both stars in NFL
Marcedes Lewis still in the league, unbelievable.

I had no idea he was still playing 😮
Pretty wild he's still playing
Yeah, he was with Green Bay last year! And his name comes up all the time when the conversation is about free agents and trades.
Just signed to play his 18th season this week to. Insane he’s still Playing even when he hasn’t been a top tier TE
They were even playing against each other in highschool

The timing with these college throwbacks is unreal
Bruh. He does it on purpose. 😂
LOL...what? You think it's all coincidence? The timing is literal and on purpose.
Reggie, LenDale, along with Matt Leinhart and Coach Pete Carroll were the reason why USC (and the Pac-12) enjoyed a huge resurgence in the early to mid 2000s
Yea and Aaron Rodgers and lynch at cal at the same time
Carroll was a joke in retrospect.

USC vs Fresno State 2005 (the game which effectively sealed the Heisman trophy for Reggie Bush)
Fresno State was dragging down West Coast football back to the Stone Age nobody should watch the games unless Derek Carr next 49er qb😡

I never saw Happy Days, so my Fonzie association is the "Marshall vs The Machines" song
Oh doctor the Legendary Keith Jackson!
This was when EVERYBODY watched college football! 🏈
Look forward to seeing our Trojans at the top again one of these days 😊. Fight on Trojans ✌️.
MJD, Bush, and White in one game at the same time, sheesh, and it's crazy cuz MJD at his peak was by far better than both them
Better than Reggie Bush?? Lol put down the crack pipe bro
@@jimmysanchez1019😂😂

Keith truly loved the game of college football.
He was as big of an ambassador for the college game as John Madden was for the pros
USC - UCLA in 2005 on ABC SPORTS Championship Television & Keith Jackson on the Mic OHHHHH NELLY
Whoa Nelly, not Ohhhh. You don't say ohhh to a horse, you say Whoa.
Great Run in college football., Great Teams USC had, Great Talent!!
Fight on
Back in those days u couldn't beat USC no way! I'm so blessed to have seen those days of USC killing it every Saturday 2002-08
People don’t talk about how unselfish Reggie was…..he let LenDale score a lot of TDs he should have gotten
College football was college football then and rest in peace to Keith Jackson…
This is such a good highlight wow
RIP the greatest college football broadcaster ever Keith Jackson
Love me some Keith Jackson.✌️🇺🇸

Special times, haven’t been the same
Back when USC played tough defense and ran the ball down teams throats.
Turns out Reggie Bush was actually a pretty good football player in college 😅
