Washington 34 Purdue 24

Purdue made its first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1967, and just its second ever, but fell to No. 4-ranked Washington, 34-24, in a game that snapped a four-game Big Ten winning streak against the Pac-10. Washington jumped off to a quick 14-0 lead, but Purdue battled back to tie the game 17-17 early in the third quarter. However, the second half belonged to the Huskies as Washington rolled for 331 yards after intermission, including 245 yards on the ground, and controlled the ball for 23:29, thus keeping the ball out of the hands of Boilermaker All-America quarterback Drew Brees. Husky quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo earned Player of the Game honors for running for 75 yards and one touchdown and passing for another while completing 16 of 22 passes. Tuiasosopo directed the Huskies to a touchdown each of four times they reached the red zone. Brees lived up to his billing in passing for 275 yards and two touchdowns for Purdue. Purdue wide receiver Vinny Sutherland tied a Rose Bowl record with two touchdown receptions.
