Coming into the New Years Day showdown with Wisconsin in Pasadena, Stanford head coach David Shaw had never coached in the Rose Bowl Game, while Badgers head coach Barry Alvarez had never lost one in three previous tries. When Stanfords Usua Amanam intercepted Wisconsin quarterback Curt Phillips late in the game, he sealed the Cardinals first Rose Bowl victory since 1972 and handed Alvarez his first loss in the prestigious bowl. Stanford raced out to a 14-point lead in the first quarter thanks to rushing touchdowns from Kelsey Young and Stepfan Taylor, seizing the early momentum. The Badgers would respond in the second quarter with a pair of scores, one from running back Montee Ball on the ground and another through the air from Phillips to Jordan Fredrick, but the Cardinal took a 17-14 advantage into halftime. The defenses ruled the second half, as the only score came late in the fourth quarter by way of a 22-yard field goal off the leg of Stanfords Jordan Williamson. Facing a 20-14 deficit, Wisconsin would have one more possession to find the end zone. The Badgers advanced past midfield before Amanam made the game-clinching interception to lock up the win and cue the confetti for Stanford. The 2013 Rose Bowl presented by Vizio was defined by defense and downhill running. The Cardinal, led by Taylors 88 yards, ran their way to 187 yards on the afternoon, while the Badgers followed Balls lead to 218 rushing yards of their own. Ball, the NCAA all-time leader in rushing touchdowns, finished with 100 yards and a score on 24 carries, but it was not enough for Wisconsin to upend Stanford.
