Trojans 1972: An Immortal Team Of Mortal Men

Bill Blocks Trojans 1972: An Immortal Team of
Mortal Men captures the story of 47- USC football
players, beyond their glory days on campus
and into their everyday lives as men. The 1972
Trojans are considered one of the greatest teams
in the history of college football. They defeated
Ohio State 42-17 in the 1973 Rose Bowl to
complete an undefeated 12-0 season and were
crowned national champions. Each chapter is
a mini biography told through the eyes of each player. Each and every
player from that 72 team whether as powerful as fullback Sam Bam
Cunningham, as intellectually gifted as defensive back Marvin Cobb, or as
massive as offensive lineman Pete Adams, eventually became one of us. A
mortal. Youll fi nd humor; youll fi nd sorrow; and youll fi nd football. Most of all youll fi nd lessons about being mortal.
