4:15. (CST)First possession: Michigan's Hart up the middle for a first down. Then, three-and-out. Michigan punts.
This is a different defense than the Udeze-Tatupu-Cody brick wall of three years ago. Faster, but not as big--certainly not the Great Cardinal and Golden Wall of Troy.
4:20. Booty, first down to Jarrett.
4:30. After a few overthrows, a field coal. 3-0, USC.
4:50. Field goal, Michigan. 3-3.
5:00. Booty alternates terrible throws with great ones . . . fumble on the twenty. Urp.
By the way, those five guys rob Mick Jagger? The ones we're being asked to watch in lieu of LSU-Notre Dame? Alternative title: "You've Just About Heard the Last of Us."
6:40. Gave up the laptop because someone had to haunt up the recipe for the sauce to go with the crab to go with the Galveston Chardonnay we bought some time ago. In the interim, two touchdown, a missed extra point, a field goal for USC. 19-3.
6:42. But Michigan drives. Touchdown. Michigan goes for two . . . and makes it. 19-11.
I've made it my personal mission in life to keep that new TV show's title in my head. "The Lords of Prosperity"? No, really, I'm not kidding.
7:15. Can't keep up . . . they core too fast . . . 32-11, and over. Whatever was going on between Jarrett and #19 for Michigan will probably cost Jarrett the Rose Bowl MVP. Booty will get it.
The MVP of this game, collectively, is the USC defense.
8:45. They divide up the MVP--has this happened before? And Jarrett gets his glory. Well, good.
FIGHT ON, BEAT WHOMEVER!

Great win. Trojans are asked to carry the mantle for the Pac AGAIN and you do so in dominating fashion. The other 9 thank you.
As a Devil, I can at least say this....winning the Rose is so sweet and for some reason beating a storied team like Michigan in Pasadena is the only way to do it.
Enjoy the off season, and we will see you in Tempe in late late late November! Dennis Erickson and his 7 top ranked JC transfers along with 18 returning starters will be waiting.
Fight on and Go Devils!
I almost forgot........did you see who was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame tonight?
Jeff Van Rapporst........the "Tempe Gun-slinger" As a famous now deceased LA Times columnist once taggged him after an amazing win over Michigan in 1986.
You remember that game right?
