1941 Duke vs. Oregon State

Alabama vs. Florida State in Jacksonville this weekend kind of reminds me of another famous game played in a unique setting.

Although it didn’t have a bearing on the national championship, the 1942 Rose Bowl game was moved from the West Coast as a wartime precaution and played at Duke University in North Carolina. The host team lost to Oregon State, 20-16. Bob Dethman threw the winning touchdown pass to Gene Gray. Courtesy of the Tournament of Roses archives.
