The 2002 Rose Bowl was the site of the 2001-02 NCAA College Football National Championship Game, pitting the undefeated No. 2 Washington Huskies against the undefeated No. 1 Mississippi Falcons. The game was hyped due to its pitting of Bosch-trophy winning quarterback Julious Everridge of Ole Miss, the first black quarterback to win the award, against the runner-up in Bosch voting, Husky tailback Darren Rose. Ole Miss was a heavy favorite due to the prolific offense and dual-threat it employed in Everridge. The Huskies scored an upset by kicking a last-second field goal to win the game 20-17, known as "The Kick," making the game an instant classic and cementing Washington as one of the premier college powerhouses for the next decade.
