BYU Claimed its first-ever National Championship with a come from behind win over Michigan. BYU quarterback Robbie Bosco, who had to leave the game in the first half with an injured knee and ankle, rallied his team from a seven point, fourth quarter deficit with two touchdown tosses. BYU's game winning drive began from their own 17-yard line with only 4:36 remaining in the game and the Cougars undefeated season at stake. The Cougars brought a 23-game winning streak into this game, with their last loss occurring in the first game of the previous season. This was the first time that a non-New Year's Day bowl determined the national title.
