#6 Texas 38, #13 Michigan 37
Saturday, January 1, 2005
Rose Bowl (Pasadena, Calif.)
The Longhorns secured their first BCS Bowl win and Rose Bowl Championship in their first appearance
in either on the game’s final play as PK Dusty Mangum’s 37-yard FG attempt went through as time
expired in No. 6 Texas’ 38-37 win over No. 13 Michigan. Mangum’s kick from the left hash came with
two seconds remaining and capped one of the great games in UT and college football history. Following
what seemed to be an eternity of timeouts with the Wolverines attempting to ice the senior, Mangum
delivered and was hoisted onto his teammates’ shoulders as the Longhorns celebrated. Before the
timeouts, head coach Mack Brown had simply said, “You’re the luckiest person in the world, you get to
be the hero in the Rose Bowl.”
