If an opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl isn't enough incentive to play your hardest, then there's something wrong with your team.
Mora, Riley and Shaw were all worthy candidates. I probably would have voted for Riley, myself. UCLA and OSU were both rebuilding, but OSU was coming off 3-9 and I'm sure has less "talent" than UCLA. Plus they won the head-to-head. Most Stanford fans (and pundits) were expecting 8-4 or 9-3.
