The 2024-25 college football season will feature 13 games that are rematches of past Rose Bowl Games. With conference realignment moving Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington to the Big Ten, many of the rematches are now regular season conference games.

During week two of the 2024 college football season, the #3 Texas Longhorns travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to take on the #10 Michigan Wolverines. The only other time these two teams have played was back in 2005 and it ended up as one of the greatest Rose Bowl Games in recent memory. 

The 2005 Rose Bowl Game was the first game in the history of The Granddaddy of Them All to end on a game-winning field goal as time expired. Texas kicker Dusty Mangum split the uprights from 37 yards out as the clock hit zero to give the Longhorns a 38-37 win. 

Offense ruled the day on January 1, 2005 as several Rose Bowl Game records were set or tied. Texas quarterback Vince Young won Offensive Player of the Game by tying the record for touchdowns with five, including four rushing scores, which also tied a record. Michigan quarterback Chad Henne became the first true freshman quarterback to start a Rose Bowl Game and threw four four touchdown passes, tying the record. Wolverines wide receiver Braylon Edwards caught three of those touchdown passes, which set the record for touchdown receptions. Michigan receiver Steve Breaston set the record for kick return yards with 221 and all-purpose yards with 315. Garrett Rivas kicked three field goals for Michigan, tying the record for made field goals. 

The game was tied 14-14 at halftime. Vince Young started the second half with a 60-yard scamper to give the Longhorns a 21-14 lead. But the rest of the third quarter was all Wolverines as Michigan rattled off 17 straight points to jump out to a 31-21 lead after three quarters.

Texas got on the board first in the fourth quarter with another Young touchdown run, escaping several sacks on the drive to keep the Longhorns alive. After Michigan added a field goal, it was 34-28 Wolverines with just over six minutes to play.

Young responded by orchestrating another touchdown drive, this one in just three plays: a couple long passes and a bootleg to the left that Young took 23-yards to the end zone, which gave Texas their first lead, 35-34, since early in the third quarter.

On the ensuing kickoff, Breaston took the ball back beyond midfield, giving Michigan great field position and setting up Rivas for what looked like a potential game-winning 42-yard field goal.

But as we would come to learn, Vince Young would not be stopped in Pasadena. He led the Longhorns into field goal range and Mangum kicked the game-winning field goal as time expired.
