Michigan State 17 UCLA 14
Another colorful Big Ten coach, Duffy Daughterty, is introduced to Pasadena as the 8-1 Michigan State Spartans edge the 9-1 UCLA Bruins of Henry (Red) Sanders 17-14. Dave Kaiser wins the game for Daugherty with a 41-yard field goal with seven seconds to play. Bob Davenport gives UCLA a 7-0 lead on a short touchdown buck, but an Earl Morrall pass to Clarence Peaks for 13 yards ties the game. A lateral-forward pass play from Morrall to Peaks to John Lewis produces a 67-yard Spartan touchdown before Ronnie Knox leads a Bruin drive that makes it 14-14 on Doug Peters' short scoring run.
