A Closer Look at the Rose Bowl Thriller

What a thrilling game as an instant classic goes down in the Rose Bowl as Stanford outlasts UCLA in a 22-13 battle of the trenches. Stanford showed their toughness late as it took a touchdown drive and strip sack returned for a touchdown in the last two minutes of the game.

It was established early on that this was not going to be the usual game between these two, the tone was set early as UCLA refused to be dominated on the line of scrimmage by Stanford. As both Takkarist McKinley and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner were both big on the defensive line for UCLA.
