Stanford Holds off Wisconsin 20-14 in Rose Bowl - ABC News: "Shayne Skov and Zach Ertz believe every game in Stanford's improbable football renaissance led the Cardinal to midfield at the Rose Bowl.
That's where Usua Amanam made the interception that stopped Wisconsin's final drive with 2:30 to play in a grind-it-out game. That's where Kevin Hogan grinned broadly as he took the final snap on Stanford's first Rose Bowl victory in 40 years.
And it's the spot where the once-struggling team from a school better known for brains than brawn raised the West Coast's most coveted trophy after a 20-14 victory over the Badgers on Tuesday night.
"There's a sense of accomplishment, because we got somewhere we hadn't been yet," said Skov, who made eight tackles while leading Stanford's second-half shutout. "If you looked at our goals at the beginning of the season, this was on top of the list, and we got it done. We're extremely satisfied.""

The 99th Rose Bowl might have put your Granddaddy asleep on Tuesday, but Stanford and its fans will be up for days celebrating the school's first Rose Bowl victory in more than four decades.
Usua Amanam's interception of Wisconsin quarterback Curt Phillips pass with 2:03 left clinched Stanford's 20-14 win before a crowd of 93,359 on a cold, crisp day.
It was an old fashioned, hard-fought, slugfest.
Some might have called it boring. The schools, in the third quarter, combined for seven punts and three first downs. The teams totaled 37 combined passes and 80 runs. Wisconsin ended with only 83 total passing yards while Stanford finished with 157.
