Three Selected for Rose Bowl Hall of Fame

Former USC receiver Lynn Swann, former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and former Ohio State offensive tackle Orlando Pace have been selected for membership in the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame, the Tournament of Roses Association announced Sunday.

Swann caught a game-high six passes for 107 yards and the game's first touchdown in the Trojans 42-17 victory over Ohio State in the 1973 Rose Bowl Game that completed an undefeated season that led to USC being the first unanimous choice as national champion in The Associated Press media poll.

Swann also caught a 22-yard pass from Mike Rae on a third-and-17 play early in the third quarter that Ohio State coach Woody Hayes called "the key play."

Swann caught five passes for 47 yards in USC's 42-21 loss to Ohio State in the 1974 Rose Bowl Game. Swann is also a member of the College and Professional Football Halls of Fame.

Carr was Michigan's coach from 1995 to 2007 after being a Wolverines assistant from 1980 to 1994. He was Michigan's coach in four Rose Bowl Games.

In Carr's first Rose Bowl Game as the Wolverines coach, Michigan defeated Washington State, 21-16, in the 1988, winning his first in 1998, to complete an undefeated season which gave the Wolverines The Associated Press version of the national championship. Michigan lost in each of Carr's final three Rose Bowl Games.

Pace shut down All-America defensive lineman Derrick Rodgers in Ohio State's 20-17 victory over previously undefeated Arizona State in the 1997 Rose Bowl Game.

The Rose Bowl Hall of Fame was established in 1989 to honor individuals connected with college football's oldest bowl game. Swann, Carr and Pace will be inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame at a luncheon Dec. 30 at the Pasadena Convention Center.

The luncheon is open to the public. Tickets are available online at sharpseating.com.
