OT: 55years ago today Jimmy Page's New Yardbirds go live

On October the 18th 1968, Jimmy Page's new band, featuring Robert Plant (vocals), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards) and John Bonham (drums), debuted at the Marquee club under the name of the New Yardbirds.

On the 10th of December 1968, Led Zeppelin performed their first gig at the Marquee club under that name. The band was announced on the papers with the old name the New Yardbirds in smaller letters to let the audience know about the identity of the new supergroup.

How will USC hold up?

In commenting in the Nebraska gametime thread that they may be our toughest game this season, I went and looked at when we would be playing USC. Our game with them is on Oct. 25th: prior to that, USC will have played 5 straight Big 10 games without a break, Michigan (L 27-24), Wisconsin, Minnesota, State Penn and Maryland. How beat up will their lines be at that point, and how well will we match up against them. They lost to Michigan, curious to see how they fare in the next game or two.
