Rose Bowl Liveblog: 4th Quarter

1st quarter. 2nd quarter. 3d quarter.

It's 19-3 USC. Michigan is trying to mount a drive.

Brent Musberger starts speculating about Carr's job security/pressure on him because he lost to Ohio State multiple times and 3 straight bowl losses.

The blame of course fell on the bloggers. Thanks guys. You make Bob Davies the voice of reason. He said he wasn't worried about the bloggers. It's losing the last two games of the season each time.

Crazy world.

7:47: Michigan getting close. 1st and ten from the 12 after the roughing the passer penalty. TD pass to Arrington.

Michigan goes for 2...

Hart gets it with a nice second effort.

19-11 USC. 13:25 left.

Crap. Bob Davies just announced "this is a chess game." Thanks for that insight.
7:50: Gables brings the ball out past the 25.

Booty out to Jarrett for 9 yards. Booty pursued and thrown out of bounds. Not necessarily thrown away, but too far along the sidelines. Booty keeps for the 1st on 3d and 1.

Harris wraps up Gable on the outlet pass for no gain. Michigan is definitely fired up following the score by their offense. Ball tipped on the line when Booty threw.

And just like that USC scores on a 62 yard strike to Dwayne Jarrett. Booty stood in there for the throw, got Jarrett in stride. Jarrett slowed down to taunt Barringer, who took a dive at Jarrett's legs in the endzone. Barringer got whistled for a late hit. Not sure about that call.

Geez another missed extrapoint.

25-11 USC. 11:18.

8:01: Michigan and Henne have to march right back starting from their 20. Tight End Ecker makes a catch for 5. Then hit him again for a big gain. Right in stride for 36 yards.

Hart runs for a couple, but he has been very quiet and it isn't clear how much of a factor he will be at this point.

Manningham in the middle is hit with a strike from Henne to the 20. Henne really likes to play from behind. Kind of reminds me of the Homer Simpson fantasy of being John Elway -- before Elway won a couple superbowls and had his reputation changed -- leading a comeback after the game was out of reach.

Screen to Hart loses 5 yards. There were no blockers in front of Hart. Arrington gets 4 yards back. 3d and 11.

Henne pressured threw it at the feet of Ecker.

Michigan goes for it, but the receiver was 5 yards short of the line. Turnover on downs to the Trojans with 8:02 left.

8:07: Pump fake hits Smith for 29 yards to the 40.

Bonnie Bernstein reports that Hart may have hurt his shoulder on the last series.

Jarrett catches the ball 20 yards down field. Then tweaks Barringer by handing him the ball as he gets up. Brent Musberger is pissed.

Wow. Booty is now playing toss and catch with the receivers. This time it's to Davis down to the 7. 2 plays, 78 yards.

And TD pass to Smith. Booty took a big lick as he delivered that one. A Malachi crunch.

The extrapoint is good -- finally.

32-11 USC. 6:52 left.

The Fiesta Bowl starts in 20 minutes.

8:15: Michigan starts around the 15.

Dwayne Jarrett has 11 catches, 205 yards and 2 TDs. Yeah, he's going pro.

Manningham for about 8 yards. 3d and 2. Mike Hart is now not on the field -- they say he's fine -- seems more likely that Michigan won't be running any longer.

Arrington catches the ball for the 1st down.

Now 3d and 10, as the Wolverines look completely demoralized. The receivers don't even look like they want to try and make the catches at this point. 4th and 10. Punt with 5:39 left.

USC takes over at their own 40.

8:19: It's reached the point where USC will finally try to run and waste clock.

Man, the whole ABC crew just keeps ripping on Keyshawn Johnson for saying Dwayne Jarrett isn't ready yet for the NFL. I think Musberger had it right on this one. He just doesn't want anyone else who could take away his job.

Michigan isn't even bothering to call timeout. Good for them. I appreciate letting the clock go.

8:25: Under 2 minutes at this point and the Michigan offense is just going through the motions.

Herbstreit is back to the bloggers going after Carr. Honestly, I haven't said a damn word.

Bob Davies said, "not so much the bloggers, Carr now has to spin the season because he lost the last two games." Crap. Davies is making sense and Herbstreit is babbling. This game needs to end so I can regain equilibrium.

8:28: By the way Breaston just scored with 1:09 left. Extrapoint is good. Does that even effect the over/under for this game?

32-18 USC.

The Fiesta Bowl hasn't started yet.

8:30: Onside kick... does not work.

I think Pete Carroll was dancing after his Gatorade bath. That or he was starting to shiver.

That does it.

USC wins. Time to go to the FIesta Bowl Liveblog.
