Woody Hayes bows out of Rose Bowl spotlight with 4-4 record as his Ohio State Buckeyes (11-0) lose another national title when upset by Dick Vermeil's comeback UCLA Bruins who despite a 8-2-1 record pull out a sensational 23-10 victory. Ohio State completely dominates the first half but leads only 3-0 on Tom Kleban's 42-yard field goal despite penetrations to UCLA's 25, 33, 32 and 21-yard lines. UCLA can't make a first down in the first 26 minutes and gains only 48 total yards in the first half. Then thunder, generated by quarterback John Sciarra, strikes. Sciarra completes 13 of 19 passes including 16 and 67-yard touchdown completions to Wally Henry. Wendell Tyler makes a 54-yard touchdown run, winding up with 172 yards on 21 carries. The game completes Archie Griffin's four Rose Bowl appearances good for 412 yards in 79 carries. Pete Johnson again is big for the Buckeyes, but Bruins Cliff Frazier, Manu Tuiasosopo, Terry Tautolo, Dale Curry, Ray Burks and Raymond Bell eventually prevail defensively.
