Biography

One of the most dominating performances in the history of the Cot-ton Bowl took place in the 1995 Classic. USC set records for total offense, passing yards, total points, points in one quarter, and points in one half while en route to a 55-14 victory over Texas Tech. Pro-viding the muscle for the Trojans was a 6-8, 305 pound offensive tackle named Tony Boselli. A remarkable athlete, Boselli possessed every technical skill necessary for an offensive lineman. He was equally as adept blocking for the run as he was for the pass. With Boselli leading the charge, USC amassed 578 yards in offense against the Red Raiders. It was an amazing display of textbook football, and it all started up front on the offensive line with the Trojans’ three-time All-America tackle.
