"All eyes were on Pasadena on January 1, 2004, when the Pac-Ten Champion University of Southern California Trojans met the Big Ten Champion University of Michigan Wolverines in a classic Rose Bowl showdown. It was the sixth time these two schools had met in college football’s most revered bowl game, and once again, the game was played with a national championship in the balance. The Trojans hit hard and hit often as they exploded to take an early 21-0 lead 1:15 into the 3rd quarter. The Trojans threw three touchdown passes against a stingy Michigan pass defense that had allowed only five passing touchdowns all season. Michigan organized a comeback but Southern California’s defense was too much as it battered the Michigan offense for nine sacks, shut down Michigan’s running game, and delivered a convincing 28-14 victory to capture the AP`s #1 ranking and USC`s ninth National Championship crown. Complete game with coverage from ABC Sports, without commercial interruption USC completed a dominating season, and made claim to their ninth National Championship. Officially Licensed by the NCAA. "
