1948 – Michigan 49 USC 0
Fritz Crisler’s undefeated Michigan (9-0) puts on one of the greatest displays of passing and running to trounce Jeff Cravath’s USC (7-1-1) by a margin of 49-0. Spinner plays featuring Robert Chappuis and Jack Weisenburger chew up the Trojans, and Chappuis passes make them dizzy. Weisenburger scores three touchdowns in the rout. Among Chappuis’ favorite receivers in his 188-yard aerial show are Bump Elliott, Howard Yerges, Dick Rifenberg, Gene Derricotte, Bobby Mann and Bruce Hilkene. USC gets beyond mid-field only twice as Michigan’s defense matches its potent offense.
