The 1910 Rose Bowl was the first postseason college football game in history, and it featured the Columbia Lions from the East Coast and the University of Oregon from the West Coast. The game was played on January 1, 1910, at Tournament Park in Pasadena, California, in front of a crowd of around 8,500 spectators.

Columbia came into the game as the underdogs, having lost their last three games of the season, while Oregon had won six of their last seven games. However, the Lions surprised everyone by dominating the game from start to finish, shutting out the Ducks 14-0.

Columbia’s defense was the star of the game, holding Oregon’s powerful offense to just 133 yards of total offense and intercepting two passes. On offense, the Lions were led by running back Ted Coy, who rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.

The victory was a historic moment for the Columbia Lions football program, as it marked the first time that an East Coast team had traveled to the West Coast to play a postseason game. The Rose Bowl would go on to become one of the most prestigious and iconic postseason games in college football history, and Columbia’s victory in the first-ever game helped establish the tradition.
