The 1990 Rose Bowl was the 76th Rose Bowl Game. The game was a rematch of
the 1989 Rose
Bowl, won by Michigan, 22-14.
Gaining a measure of revenge, the USC
Trojans defeated the Michigan
Wolverines 17-10. USC running back Ricky Ervins was named the Rose Bowl
Player of the Game.[1]
The contest was Bo Schembechler's final game as
Michigan's head coach.
Teams
Michigan
Wolverines
The Wolverines lost their opening game, at home, to Notre Dame
24-19. The UCLA Bruins under Terry Donahue and the Michigan
Wolverines under Bo Schembechler met for the only time since the 1983 Rose Bowl in
a UCLA home game at the Rose Bowl Stadium on September 23, 1989.
The #5 ranked Michigan Wolverines defeated #24 ranked UCLA 24-23.
This was the first win in a 10-game winning streak. The biggest win
was a 24-10 win at Illinois that ultimately gave the Big 10 title
to Michigan over the 2nd place Illini.
USC
Trojans
USC lost their opener to Illinois 14-13, but won the rest with
the exception of a 28-24 mid season loss at Notre Dame and a 10-10
tie in their regular season finale with rival UCLA. They won the
Pac-10 title by 2 1/2 games over Washington.
Game
summary
The game was expected to be a tight physical defensive struggle
and it was. USC had leads of 7-0 first when Todd Marinovich ran for
a touchdown and 10-7 with a field goal, but each time Michigan came
back to tie the score. Midway through the 4th quarter, Michigan
faced a 4th down and 2 yards to go at its own 46 yard line. The
normally conservative Bo Schembechler called for a fake punt and it
worked to perfection as punter Chris Stapleton rambled 24 yards for
what would have been a first down. However, Michigan was called for
holding on what is currently a disputed penalty in the USC-Michigan
rivalry history. On the resultant drive, USC scored the winning
touchdown with just over a minute to play. At the end of the game
Schembechler walked off the field refusing interview requests.
