Yep, the USC (Integrated) Vs. Alabama (Segregated) in 1970 was a turning point in Southern Football history. In fact, the 1969 UT Longhorns were the last all white National Champions.

You've managed to rebreak my Nittany heart within just two posts of each other. It's bad enough to lose to Alabama that way, but even worse is the '69 pain of the undefeated Nittany Lions being swept aside by Nixon's premature declaration before the Bowl Games that U. of Texas was the national champ. Nixon offered PSU some consolation plaque of our undefeatedness, which a young Coach Paterno refused to accept.
