Rick Neuheisel has just been named the MVP of the 1984 Rose Bowl.

“I’ll tell you what, whoever wrote this story I’m going to have to give a lot of money to because they did a good job,” his Slickness says.

Neuheisel passed for 298 yards and four touchdowns in the 45-9 victory over Illinois. Two of his scoring passes went to his eventual predecessor as UCLA coach, Karl Dorrell.
