Ohio State 27 - USC 16
The 1969 Rose Bowl was played on January 1, 1969 and was the 55th Rose Bowl Game. Ohio State defeated USC, 27�16. Rex Kern, the Ohio State quarterback, was named the Rose Bowl Player Of The Game.
Heisman Trophy winner O. J. Simpson rushed for 171 yards and an 80-yard touchdown run, but USC had five turnovers, including an interception and a fumble by Simpson. It was only the second #1 vs. #2 matchup in the Rose Bowl, the 1963 Rose Bowl being the first.
It was the first of four Rose Bowl matchups featuring Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and USC coach John McKay. It was the first of two with the National Championship on the line for both schools.
