Rose Bowl Hall of Fame
Vince Evans was a two-year starter at quarterback for USC and led the Trojans to the Pac-8 title in 1976, which earned a spot in the 1977 Rose Bowl Game against Michigan. USC won the game, 14-6, as Evans completed 14-of-20 passes in the game and scored the game-winning touchdown on a fourth-and-goal rush from the one-yard line. For his efforts, he was named MVP of the game. The Trojans would finish the season with an 11-1 record and ranked No. 2 in the final polls. Evans was selected by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round of the 1977 NFL Draft. He would go on to 16-year professional career that spanned three decades in the NFL and USFL. Since retiring from football, Evans has led a successful career in real estate in Southern California.
