Jan. 1, 1963
No. 1 USC def. No. 2 Wisconsin, 42-37
Rose Bowl – Pasadena, Calif.
The 1963 Rose Bowl was the first matchup of a No. 1 and No. 2 team since Army and Notre Dame tied in 1946. USC used trickery to open up the scoring as quarterback Pete Beathard, the field goal holder, stood up and pitched a 13-yard touchdown pass to Ron Butcher. On Wisconsin’s following drive, College Football Hall of Fame end Pat Richter caught a pass that set up Ralph Kurek’s short scoring run. Richter finished the day with 163 yards on 11 catches. Damon Bane returned an interception for a touchdown, and halfback Ron Heller swept 25 yards for a touchdown to swing the score back in the Trojans favor, 21-7. In the fourth quarter, a 57-yard touchdown pass to Hall of Fame end Hal Bedsole put USC ahead 42-14 with 14 minutes remaining. As fans headed for the exits, the Badgers began a rally that left them down 42-30 with 2:40 to go. Richter caught a touchdown pass that cut the deficit to five, but Wisconsin could not complete the comeback on their final drive. College Football Hall of Fame head coach John McKay led the Trojans to a perfect 11-0 season and their first national title since 1939. Wisconsin finished No. 2 in the final AP Poll at 8-2.
