Making their first Rose Bowl appearance in 67 years, the Cougars pushed national champion and number one-ranked Michigan to the last play of the game before falling to
the Wolverines 21-16 before 101,219 fans. The game hinged on the final 29 seconds with the Cougars 93 yards from the endzone and trailing by five points. Quarterback Ryan Leaf drove his team to the Michigan 16-yard line, but time expired before the Cougars could score a winning touchdown.
