Teams Michigan Wolverines 1989 Michigan Wolverines football team The Wolverines lost their opening game, at home, to Notre Dame 24–19. The UCLA Bruins under Terry Donahue and the Michigan Wolverines under Bo Schembechler met for the only time since the 1983 Rose Bowl in a UCLA home game at the Rose Bowl on September 23, 1989. The fifth-ranked Michigan Wolverines defeated #24 UCLA by a point, 24–23. This began a ten-game winning streak for Michigan, the biggest win being a 24–10 win at Illinois that ultimately gave the Big Ten title to Michigan over the runner-up Illini. USC Trojans 1989 USC Trojans football team USC lost their opener to Illinois 14–13, but won the rest with the exception of a 28–24 mid-season loss at Notre Dame and a 10–10 tie in their regular season finale with rival UCLA. They won the Pac-10 title by 2½ games over Washington, who had struggled early in the season. It was a third-straight berth in the Rose Bowl for the Trojans, but they had lost the previous two, the only such streak in USC history (through 2025, no Pac-12 team has done so sinceJanuary 2025). The previous western team to lose consecutively was California, which dropped three straight (1949–1951) while representing the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC). Game summary The game was expected to be a tight physical defensive struggle,https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sx8SAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Y_ADAAAAIBAJ&pg=6944%2C97434 Spokesman-Review Spokane, Washington Associated Press Gipper takes on Bo in the Rose Bowl January 1, 1990 C2 and it was. USC scored first, when quarterback Todd Marinovich ran for a touchdown and led 10–3 at halftime, but Michigan came back to tie the score in the third quarter. Midway through the fourth quarter, Michigan faced a 4th-and-2 at its own 46-yard line. The normally conservative Schembechler called for a fake punt and it worked to perfection as punter Chris Stapleton rambled 24 yards for what would have been a first down, but Michigan was called for holding, in addition to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty because of a Schembechler temper tantrum. On the resultant drive, USC scored the winning touchdown with just over a minute to play. At the end of the game, Schembechler walked off the field as head coach for the last time, refusing interview requests; he remained briefly as the athletic director, a post he gained concurrently in 1988. A few days later, he announced he was leaving Michigan to become the president of the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qOFRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=km4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=1723%2C1734860 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Associated Press Atkins Harry Schembechler to become Tigers' president January 8, 1990 23https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=70NPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BgMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4272%2C1014989 Toledo Blade Ohio Taylor Jim Bo to be an active president January 9, 1990 24https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yF5WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Y_ADAAAAIBAJ&pg=5669%2C4764596 Spokesman-Review Spokane, Washington wire reports Schembechler turns his talents to putting Detroit back on top January 9, 1990 C3 Scoring First quarter None 0–0 tie Second quarter USC: Todd Marinovich, 1-yard run (Quin Rodriguez kick), USC 7–0 Mich: J.D.
