A photographic explanation of Frank Gifford's 69-yard touchdown, from the Oct. 29, 1951, issue of LIFE Magazine. Ed Clark—LIFE Magazine  by [Eliza Berman](https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/)  ## Eliza Berman Berman is a senior editor at TIME. Aug 10, 2015 6:31 PM UTC Before Frank Gifford was an NFL MVP, a sportscaster or an actor, he was a college football player. And in perhaps the most memorable game of the season that made him an All-American, the University of Southern California halfback scored a 69-yard touchdown against the top ranked team in the country, the University of California, Berkeley. For Gifford, who [died Sunday](http://time.com/3990031/frank-gifford-dies-84-nfl/) at 84, the first half of that game in late October, 1951, was quiet. Berkeley, according to LIFE Magazine, “planned to flatten its foe by sheer weight of manpower,” and with a score of 14-0 at halftime, the team’s plans were unfolding smoothly. Thankfully for underdog USC, the first time the team got the ball in the second half, it went to Gifford, who dodged many an [Oski](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oski) to score USC’s first touchdown of the game. Gifford’s feat might have been a noteworthy footnote on an expected regular-season loss. But for both USC—which went on to upset Berkeley 21-14—and for Gifford himself, that touchdown was only the beginning. _Liz Ronk, who edited this gallery, is the Photo Editor for LIFE.com.
