MacArthur Bowl Recipients
Biography
AAWU Champion USC defeated Big Ten Champion Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, marking the Trojans’ first MacArthur Bowl. Coached by College Football Hall of Famer John McKay, USC finished 11-0 after a 42-37 victory against the Badgers in the Rose Bowl. The 1962 USC team featured Hall of Fame tight end Hal Bedsole.
Representing the pinnacle of team achievement in college sports, the trophy was the gift of an anonymous donor, who commissioned Tiffany & Co. to craft it from 400 ounces of silver, in honor of NFF founder General Douglas A. MacArthur. It took eight months to make, and the trophy features MacArthur's famous quote: "There is no substitute for victory."
