 I'm a Buckeye--I love this DVD February 9, 2010
BAW (Ohio)
It's a treat to see some of these older games. I enjoyed this DVD very much, as I should since I am a tOSU fan. I wish the announcer had known that the song is "Hang On, Sloopy", not "Hurry Up, Sloopy". But seeing Rex Kern, Jack Tatum, and the other tOSU greats play was excellent. And to think that in those days, freshmen couldn't play, so that was essentially their first season. Thank heavens there was only one brief glimpse of the early Buckeye mascot--that was almost embarrassing.
 Bad announcers May 26, 2009
Roger Long (Port Clinton, OH USA)
This is one of the best college bowl games ever--the first time the top two ranked teams met in the Rose Bowl. It had Woody Hayes, at his finest hour, Rex Kern, O.J. Simpson, before he was a criminal, his pal, Al Cowling, etc. etc. The color is great. The graphics are a bit primitive by today's standards, but the game was perfect, especially if you are a Buckeye fan.
Then comes play by play announcer Curt Gowdy, who apparently didn't do much homework, because he mispronounces players' names and describes plays that never took place, It's hard to understand why he lasted so long in broadcasting. He was a USC fan and a Red Sox fan--and it showed. Take away a star for the announcing of Gowdy here.
Greatest Rose Bowl game of all time May 22, 2006
Joe Cristman
This is probably the most suprizing game of the latter part of the 20th century. A game which would put a team later to be known as the "Super Sophomores" against a formitable experienced team lead by none other then OJ Simpson himself.
This game demonstrates what an underdog can do and do well as Ohio State under the direction of Woody Hayes overwelm the mighty USC on their own turf.
This DVD exhibits a perfect example of what has become known as
Buckeye Fan-atics and why their following is legionary.
LIKE TIME TRAVEL April 26, 2006

This DVD is marketed by Ohio State, and is obviously a highlight of Buckeye tradition as it was a big win that gave them the 1968 national title. But as a USC alum I heartily endorse this for your Trojan collection, as Troy indeed did, in the words of former L.A. Times sports editor Owen Bird, "fight like Trojans" in noble defeat. It is a great piece of "time travel" in beautiful "living color," brought to you by the NBC peacock with the legendary Curt Gowdy at the height of his game, along with Kyle Rote. The Rose queen introduces it with fabulous big 1968-69 hair, but the images of the Rose Bowl, the snow-capped San Gabriels, the Arroyo Seco, are the same as today, which is why this is the "Granddaddy of 'em all."
The Buckeyes were one of the best teams ever, but so were the Trojans. Jack Tatum laid some wicked hits in this game for Ohio State, but observing O.J. Simpson in his prime is proof that as good as Reggie Bush is, he has nothing on Juice. O.J. was big, swift, shifty; better than Jim Brown? Maybe, maybe not, but very close. As good as any college back ever. It was also reminiscent of Bush's last game when his fumble hurt SC in the loss to Texas at the '06 Rose Bowl. O.J.'s and Steve Sogge's fumbles cost the '68 team, as well!
This was one of those number one vs. two games, a rarity before the BCS, one for the ages.
Fight On! and congratulations, Ohio State. . .

A great bit of history November 21, 2004
A. Walls (Sigonella, IT)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you are an OSU fan you need to get this DVD. The 1968 team is one of the greatest in the history of college football and definitely one of if not the greatest teams ever at the Ohio State University.
Watch Rex Kern, Jim Otis and Jack Tatum lead the Bucks in a thrilling win over the O.J. Simpson led USC Trojans.
The only reason I've rated this DVD with 4 stars and not 5 is because of it's bare-bones nature. This is definitely a great game and worth getting but the DVD has the game and only the game. There is nothing to round out the presentation - No half-time show, not even any commercials (which I think would be cool to see from 1968).
But don't worry, if you are an OSU or college football fan this game is worth the price.
