The 1931 Rose Bowl was the 17th Rose Bowl game, an American post-season college football game that was played on New Year's Day in Pasadena, California. It featured two undefeated teams, Alabama and Washington State.[3] [4] [5]
Alabama scored three touchdowns in the second quarter and shut out the Cougars, 24–0.[3] [6]
For a psychological stunt, the WSC Cougars dressed all in red (helmets, jerseys, pants, socks, and shoes),[3] [7] according to the Pasadena Tournament of Roses.
