UCLA's last visit in 1967

[olelion]

Gary Beban , the Heisman Trophy winner that year quarterbacked the Bruins who came in ranked No. 3 in the nation.. Penn State was doing quite well with Tom Sherman at quarterback at QB and Bob Campbell running well. Campbell blew out his knee trying to stretch for extra yardage. He was also the punter and UCLA eventually won the game on a blocked punt and recovery for a TD in the PSU end zone. The final score was 15-17. The Penn State 44 defense stymied UCLA all day with Steve Smear having a huge game at DT. I was a sophomore attending that game. They would not loose again during my final 2+ years at Dear Old State

I remember that backbreaker. I don't remember it being on tv. I was only 5 or 6 years of being a psu fan and probably listened on the radio. Playing that game so close was a good sign going forward though.

I was there too and also a Soph. Probably in a coat and tie. We got revenge in ‘68 with Jack Ham blocking a punt and Jim Kates running it in. I’ve got a VHS tape of highlights for that season but nothing to play it on.

I attended both of those games. IIRC, Frank Spaziani, our DE, sacked Beban once or twice. Frank later became a coach for several college teams. He also drove a nice Corvette.

I was there in the kids end zone in the bleacher seats.

I was there in the kids end zone in the bleacher seats.

I sat in those seats in 1967 for my first PSU game. I think it may have been Army.. It was an amazing experience.

A couple of games my Dad set me up on the rolled up tarps on the sidelines.
