I was at this game! This was UCLA's home stadium, and there were EASILY 80,000 Badger fans there. Amazing the sea of red in that stadium that day! If UCLA could have tackled Ron Dayne just once, they might have won this game!
LMAO when Wisconsin's QB rips off a big run to put them at 1st and goal, the announcer goes "First and gooooaal Nebrask-....Wisconsin!" You can tell Wisconsin playing in big bowl games was still sort of new back then! Freudian slip there for sure, he thought he was watching Big Red for a second there! As always Ron Dayne was a beast in this game.
@@abercrom21guy Ohh okay, but any 3 of those teams would’ve probably beaten UCLA in 98. And although y’all did deserve the Rose Bowl over Wisconsin in 1999, aren’t you more happy with your win over SEC Champions Alabama instead of Wisconsin’s win over #22 Stanford?
@@kev614 definitely, I'll say this..... I was in the big house for our near defeat to the worst OSU team in 30 years.... Talk about a win that felt like a loss.
@@kev614 that 98 OSU team was the best OSU team I've seen hands down. Had they beaten msu they would of trucked Tennessee in the title game. That msu loss was the most crushing loss in recent OSU history along with 2015 msu
When the Big Ten Champion and the PAC 10 Champion actually played each other in the Rose Bowl unlike in today’s College Football👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Those days are long gone unfortunately.
This is just fantastic.I will like and watch every video like this you make!
That intro was game changing

The glory days. What a time to be a student at WI!
Great game
Big Ten was stacked that season. Would’ve been interesting if 11-1 Wisconsin or OSU took on Tennessee for the natty instead of 1 loss FSU.
The UCLA defense that season was terrible, Edgerrin James and Miami ran through UCLA to keep them from playing for the national title.

@Pastor Adam Plus both teams have nearly identical jerseys and helmets. Only difference being the big W and the N.
Is it me or did abc go back to this traditional hard camera set up after the previous year they put the camera closer to the field ?
I remember watching this game on television. I enjoyed it. Not a fan of either team. I just thought that it was a really good football game.
i miss when they called games like this
UCLA didn't want to be there.
1:47 Keith jackson becomes a robot
EPIC
They ran the same play all game a sec team would of shut that shit down
Nope
SEC wasn’t shit back then
@@mattnorcia5593 an SEC team (Tennessee) won the national championship that season.
All Wisconsin does is run. If you can’t stop it you just can’t no matter what conference you’re from.
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 To be honest I liked the High Flying Offenses of the SEC back in the 90s. Today’s SEC is boring IMO.
Michigan should have gone. We absolutely manhandled Wisconsin
Why would a 3 loss Michigan go instead of a 1 loss #3 Ohio State that beat Michigan?
@@kev614 I was thinking the 1999 season, not 1998. I agree OSU should have gone in 98, OSU was absolute trash in 99. 6-6
