Game summaryβ»
The game, "one of the great contests in Rose Bowl history," was back. And forth, with six lead changes. Michigan scored the final two touchdownsββto win by seven points, avenging the previous year's loss and foiling the Huskies' attempt at a third straight Rose Bowl title. MVP Tyrone Wheatley scored three touchdowns and rushed for 235 yards on just 15 carries (15.7 avg.)
Michigan finished the season undefeated (with three ties) at 9β0β3, ranked #5 in the final polls. Washington (9β3) was ranked #1 in early November at 8-0, but lossesββto Arizona and "Washington State," along with this one, dropped them to #11 (AP) and #10 (Coaches) in the final national rankings.
This turned out to be, Don James' last game as the Huskies' head coach. He resigned in protest shortly before the beginning of the next season after the NCAA and Pac-10 levied sanctions against Washington for rules violations.
