Wisconsin's Montee Ball assesses his Rose Bowl firsts and losses - latimes.com: "Wisconsin running back Montee Ball had 100 yards rushing against Stanford on Tuesday, making him the first to gain 100 or more yards in three Rose Bowl games.

His 11-yard second-quarter touchdown run made him the only player to score a touchdown in three Rose Bowls.

But Ball could have done without another first . He became the first to gain 100 or more yards rushing and score a touchdown in three Rose Bowls and lose all three.

"Yeah, this is not the way I want to be remembered," Ball said. "I felt like I did a great job of leading the team through adversity this season and, in past seasons, a great job of capitalizing on big plays. This is a very unfortunate situation for us.""
