#4 Arizona State holds on late to defeat #5 Texas 31-28, claims first Rose Bowl victory since 1986

PASADENA -- Coach Jon Landrum has never been afraid to make aggressive calls and zig when everyone else would zag. That mindset paid off in a big way in claiming Arizona State's first Rose Bowl win since 1986.

Facing 3rd and 6 with about a minute left on the clock - and the Longhorns out of timeouts - Landrum called for a pass instead of playing it safe and running the clock. One Ryan Summers 7 yard completion later, and the Sun Devils were in victory formation, preparing to celebrate a milestone victory.

Heisman winner Mark Bray threw 3 TD's and Doak Walker winner Steve Williams ran for 147 yards and a TD in the victory. Arizona State finishes the season at 12-2, their best mark since 1975.
