This Week in College Football History November 3, 1962
College Football Hall of Fame head coach John McKay's No. 3 USC Trojans handed No. 9 Washington its first loss of the season, 14-0, in Los Angeles. Quarterback Pete Beathard threw and ran for a score to carry the Trojans' offense while the USC defense denied the Huskies on three separate red zone trips. The win proved to be vital as USC would eventually win its first of four national titles under McKay and the program’s first since 1939.
