In the annual Rose Bowl game, the SoCon champion Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the heavily favored PCC champion Washington Huskies by a single point, 20–19, and became the first southern team ever to win a Rose Bowl. It is commonly referred to as "the game that changed the south."[2] Alabama halfback Johnny Mack Brown was the Rose Bowl game's MVP. Alabama was retroactively named as national champion for 1925 by several major selectors, along with Dartmouth.[3][4]
Tulane back Peggy Flournoy led the nation in scoring with his 128 points, a school record not broken until 2007 by Matt Forte. With also Lester Lautenschlaeger in the backfield to lead the Green Wave, Tulane beat Northwestern i a game which helped herald the arrival of Southern football.[5]
The Georgia Tech team, led by Doug Wycoff, had one of the best defenses in school history.
