"USC Football Classics (Volume 1)," a one-of-a-kind DVD featuring some of the greatest games in Trojan history, is on sale.

The 83-minute DVD, priced at $19.95, is available at the online store on USCTrojans.com by going to http://store.cstv.com/marketplace/store_contents.cfm?store_id=292&product_id=122657.

The DVD includes extensive narrated highlights of the legendary 1974 Notre Dame comeback when the Trojans fought back from a 24-0 deficit by scoring 55 unanswered points, the thrilling late victories over crosstown foe UCLA in 1967 (on O.J. Simpson's famous 64-yard run) and 1969 (on Sam Dickerson's miraculous catch in the corner of the end zone), the 1963 Rose Bowl when USC held off Ron VanderKelen and Wisconsin in near darkness, and the dramatic late game-winning drives against Ohio State in the 1980 Rose Bowl (riding the legs of Charles White) and at Washington State in 1989 (Marinovich-to-Wellman for the win).

There are also these exciting Trojan games: the 1938 UCLA, 1941 Oregon State, 1972 Oregon and 1984 Washington contests.

Other special features include a heart-stopping look at the final drive of the 2005 Notre Dame classic (Leinart-to-Jarrett on fourth-and-9, then the Bush Push), a review of some of the gridiron encounters against Nebraska, a look back at some of USC's best opening-day games and an overview of the Trojans' first 750 victories.
