October 24, 1975.



With kicker and tailback Greg Henry injured, it was up to the rest of the Trojans to hand Minor Christian their first defeat of the season.  Alan Spear, returning to the quarterback position, was 10 of 16 passing for 124 yards, including two second quarter touchdown tosses and a fourth quarter two point conversion pass to Wem Mellown.  Spear also returned a punt for a touchdown and ran in a two point conversion.  James Martin returned an interception a school record 93 yards for another score.  Minor Christian, primarily a passing team, threw four interceptions and only had ten yards total rushing in the game, including a late touchdown against reserve defenders.
