A 1997 Rose Bowl Autographed Football issued to All-American Cornerback Antoine Winfield. This particular Rose Bowl Wilson football with the Ohio State, Arizona State, and Rose Bowl logo was only available to the players and never for sale in stores. The football includes autographs from coach John Cooper, Antoine Winfield, Damon Moore, Andy Katzenmoyer, Luke Fickell, Rob Kelly, Ryan Miller, Dimitrious Stanley, and others.

After second ranked Arizona State's Jake Plummer scrambled for an 11-yard touchdown in the game's final minutes, it looked as if "The Snake" would rally his team to another come-from-behind win.  Instead, Ohio State's Joe Germaine connected with David Boston with 19 seconds to play to give Ohio State an upset win, 20-17.  The Buckeyes finished second ranked in the country and gave John Cooper his only Rose Bowl win at Ohio State.
