Crazy to think these 2 teams would’ve been playing each other in the National championship game instead of the rose bowl if each team would’ve won there last game of the season!
Besides the championship year they couldn’t help but lose at least 1 game every year to a mediocre team no matter how great they were. Which kept putting them in the Rose Bowl. During this time the bowl games were pretty much set with just 2 conferences especially the BCS bowls. Like the Rose Bowl was strictly a PAC10 vs BIG10 game. And the Sugar Bowl was always the SEC vs whoever else could make it
@@shanksmcnasty6650Championship years (plural). The '04 natty that was "stripped" was based off "rules" that were (& are) illegal & unconstitutional. But those are facts, & casuals are too intellectually lazy to consider those. Btw, those "mediocre" teams were part of the toughest conference in the nation. Unlike the always top heavy sec, which consists of bama, insert random "contender", then 10-14 mediocre at best teams who are brands bc they're in the sec. And the Pac never needed to get in bed with disney owned sports networks either, to get 7-8 teams in the media controlled "polls" either. But again, that's a fact & casuals are too lazy to consider those. 🤔
The USC drive starting at 32:14 is just phenomenal. Michigan plays really good defense for the first three plays, but perfect passes and great catches takes USC 80 yards downfield in a flash. Not much you can do, just tip your cap to the offense.
So many pros on the field. USC Linebackers had literally 3 NFL guys. Michigan had a ton of talent as well. Michigan's D played well. USC finally made enough plays to win. It literally felt like watching an NFL game.
The offense approach of Michigan in this game is so frustrating to say the least. I hope Jim Harbaugh comes up with more aggressive approach this time around. Go blue!
@NorthOfWindsor So you're saying Ohio State and Michigan should have played in the Sugar Bowl? ... Maybe so, maybe Florida and USC should have played in Glendale for the Natty. Maybe you're right.
This was a very good Michigan team. So much so that it was the ONLY Michigan team during Carroll's peak years at USC whose talent we could reasonably call "comparable" to USC's. But USC had the craftier coaching staff. Superior offensive game planning (never a strength under Carr) and better qb play really made the difference in the second half. Michigan's long and regrettable tradition of losing Rose Bowls didn't help either.
What was stunning is how SC only needed to eke by UCLA to get to the Fiesta Bowl, and couldn’t stop the bRuin pass rush, yet performed very well against a great Michigan front 4.
This was the year the media was hyping up a possible BCS NC game rematch between OSU and Michigan as OSU was undefeated in the regular season and Michigan's only loss was to them by 3 points. Thank God this didn't happen as both of these teams were exposed in their bowl games. USC that year had 2 losses prior to this game but dominated the second half over heavily favored Michigan. OSU went on to get creamed by Florida 41-14.
Good game. Michigans defense finally wore down. USCs defense was loaded. Both teams had pros everywhere. 3-3 game midway thru the 3rd quarter. 19-11 with 12 minutes to go.
Yeah, I don't get how with the benefit of replay you still don't get the call right. You can see at 18:32 that the knee is not down yet and the ball is loose. Has to be a fumble or an incomplerion. I feel like instant replay has made refs dumber

Lololol, I remember this game. An overrated Michigan team, even touted by Sports Illustrated was supposed to win this game. All we heard was how more “smashmouth” they were. That’s until they met SPEED and POWER. The same thing will happen when USC continues building and plays in the Big Ten. MICHIGAN IS A SLOW TEAM.
I hate to bring this up, but I remember Rose Bowls going back to the 1970's. And it seems that whenever Ohio State or Michigan played in one (and they usually did,) they lost. If I were those two schools, I would quit the Big 10, join another conference, and play in a different bowl.
Hard to beat a team basically playing a home game. Compared to a team that has to fly 3000 miles and time change its literally a different planet. How many Rose Bowls would the P12 win if they had to play the Rose Bowl in the horseshoe or the big house. They literally play the game in UCLAs home stadium
Bro, it’s basically a home game for USC. Why do y’all always leave that out? What advantages does the Big Ten have any in big bowl games? They’re all in the south or out west. At a disadvantage. Not making excuses but damn.

No, Georgia would've crushed USC in the legitimate championship game

Well OSU was undefeated and ranked # 1 so it would have been hard to keep them out.

He never lost to the SEC either.

If they "would've of beaten anyone" why were they unable to beat a couple of mediocre teams?

USC would have won at least 2 more nattys if the playoff was in place back then. The 08 team would have also won the natty.

I’m sure SC didn’t prepare for UCLA. At least not like they would have against a ranked team. Never look past your cross-towners with nothing to lose.
A 19-11 game in the 4th. Game was actually pretty dam competitive. USC scored at the end to make it a 2 td win.
I remembered this game as being a blowout. Yet it was only 3-0 after 1 quarter
