- Jackson did pxp on the 9/9 game as Schenkel was still in Munich for the Olympics. (Jackson had also been in Munich but returned early.)

Chris Schenkel and Bud Wilkinson had the call, per the 11/10/72 edition of the Fort Walton, FL "Playground Daily News".

On 10/14/72, add Arizona at New Mexico with Keith Jackson and Lee Grosscup. I got that from the Tuscon paper at Newspaper Archive. Oddly, the start time wasn't listed, but was likely at 3:30 as well.

2 more for Jackson Grosscup
November 11 Ohio State Michigan State
November 23 Texas A and M Texas

September 9 I also have Bud Palmer on the sidelines.

- ABC added ex-Michigan St coach Duffy Daugherty to its #1 team creating a 3-man booth.

The Saturday September 22, 1973 edition of the Syracuse Post-Standard says in the story that Duffy Daugherty "will be in the TV booth". However, it doesn't say that he'd be specifically calling the MSU-Syracuse game. The statement was more to point out that the Spartans had a new coach, but it could be inferred that he was the color commentator for the game. Upgrades at Newspaper Archive are currently rendering the Syrause Herald-Journal unavailable, so maybe that paper will shed more light on the subject when it can be viewed.

I have Bill Flemming, Forrest Evashevski for the Missouri-SMU game on 10/6.

Per the October 25, 1973 edition of the Florence (SC) Daily News, the commentators for NC State-Clemson on October 27, 1973 were Bill Fleming and Lee Grosscup.

The September 2, 1973 edition of the Abeliene (TX) Reporter-News states that ABC would be broadcasting 37 games (24 regionally, 13 nationally) that season. Chris Schenkel, Keith Jackson, Bill Fleming, Lynn Sanner, and Bob Murphy were named as the play by play men with Bud Wilkinson, Duffy Daugherty, Lee Grosscup, Forrest Evashevski, and Monty Stickles as color commentators. College Football Today both preceded and followed the games. At halftime was first half highlights and Coaches Corner with a different coach being interviewed weekly.

- ABC elevated Jackson to #1 announcer replacing Schenkel (who moved to anchor the studio show).
- ABC used many active coaches (who were on off-weeks) as guest analysts. John McKay was originally scheduled to work the season opener, but Bob Devaney called the game with Jackson.
- ABC added Jim Lampley and Don Tollefson for sideline interviews and features on the telecasts. This duo made its debut on the 9/7 game.
- The 9/9 game was the first ever NCAA college football Monday night telecast.

- ABC added ex-Arkansas coach Frank Broyles and essentially alternated Broyles and Parseghian as #1 analyst.
- ABC had a policy which prevented Broyles from calling any Arkansas games since he was still employed by Arkansas (as the athletic director).
- Schenkel called the 10/15 game as Jackson was calling World Series g4 later that afternoon.

- ABC did not carry any prime time games this season.
- On 10/13, ABC joined the football game in progress after World Series g4 ran long.
- ESPN (which launched in Sept) televised selected non-ABC games on tape delay. ABC had exclusive rights to live telecasts. Note: I am only showing the ABC games on this list.

Since every RSFCker seems to be doing this -- this is the first game I attended. My grandpa got two tickets (not sure how) and took me to the Coliseum for the night game. We sat on north side of the stadium at around the 20-yard-line of the peristyle end.

From what I remember from the game...

USC reserve defensive tackle George Achica blocked a last-second ucla FG attempt to preserve the 29-27 Trojan win.

Rob Hertel was the QB, Charles White was the TB, and Lynn Cain was the FB in the power I formation for the Trojans.

I got home very late and slept on the car ride home.

couldn't tell you what year my first game was but my Dad took me to a Columbia game at Baker Field. Also have no idea who they were playing.

I don't remember either, but it would be Lewis Field, Stillwater OK in the mid 70s. The name I remember hearing at some of those games is Terry Miller of oSu, and because it's a weird name, Jarvis Redwine of Nebraska.
