1957 Rose Bowl
College football game
The 1957 Rose Bowl was the 43rd edition of the college football bowl game, played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Tuesday, January 1. The third-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes of the Big Ten Conference defeated the #10 Oregon State Beavers of the Pacific Coast Conference by a score of 35–19,[3][4][5][6] in a rematch of a regular season contest in early October at Iowa City, where the home team rallied to win, 14–13.[7]
Iowa quarterback Ken Ploen was named the Player of the Game.
This was the first trip to Pasadena for both teams: it was Iowa's first bowl appearance and Oregon State's second. The Beavers won the Rose Bowl fifteen years earlier in January 1942, which was moved to Durham, North Carolina.
