After a touchdown pass with two minutes remaining to draw within a point, USC quarterback Pat Haden passed to Shelton Diggs for a two-point conversion to take the lead.[3][4][5][6] It gave the Trojans the Rose Bowl victory and the UPI coaches poll national title.
This was the third consecutive year for these teams in the Rose Bowl: USC won in 1973, Ohio State in 1974.
