The Illini's only Rose Bowl loss came in 1984 when UCLA stopped
the Jack Trudeau led Illini 45-9.

Amazing story behind that. I think the Illini was 10-1 going into that game,
and was the favorite over the Bruins 6-4-1. Rick Neuheisel (WHO) QB for
UCLA ended up the MVP. Didn't hear much of him after his college career,
other than a tutor for Troy Aikman.
