PASADENA, Calif. — After 98 combined points and 1,040 yards of spectacular offense, the highest-scoring Rose Bowl in history rested on the left foot of a Southern California kicker who already had missed two field goals.
Matt Boermeester said he focused only on securing a perfect ending to an epic evening.
"The game was on the line, but you've got to keep true to your technique and trust it," Boermeester said.
His technique was sound, his kick was true and the Trojans got their storybook finish. Boermeester hit a 46-yard field goal as time expired, and No.
