On New Year’s Day in 1953, the Wisconsin Badgers were looking to extend the Big Ten’s Rose Bowl Game winning streak, which had reached six straight games since the bowl pact with the Pac-10 began in 1947. Goux and his teammates were hoping to end that
streak.
The Trojans paralyzed the Badgers, keeping them scoreless thanks to the Goux-led defense. The only score came in the third quarter, when USC’s Rudy Bukich threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Al Carmichael. USC ended the streak, winning 7–0. Two years later, in 1955, Goux returned to the Rose Bowl Game when the Trojans faced No. 1 Ohio State. On a rainy day, Goux lined up on both sides of the ball, playing center on offense and linebacker on defense, but the Buckeyes prevailed 20–7.
Goux was hired as an assistant coach at USC in 1957, and he returned to the Rose Bowl Game 11 times from 1963 to 1980. The Trojans recorded eight wins to just three losses in Goux’s tenure as an assistant. Goux died in 2002.
