The game was a rematch of the previous year, won by Michigan, 22–14. Gaining a measure of revenge, the USC Trojans upset the third-ranked Michigan Wolverines, 17–10.[2][3] USC junior running back Ricky Ervins was named the Player Of The Game.[4] This was Bo Schembechler's final game as Michigan's head coach,[5] and he finished with a 2–8 record in Rose Bowls.[6][7][8][9][10]
