False, the '90 Purdue game was not the Rose Bowl clincher. Iowa did not clinch the Rose Bowl until Michigan beat O$U the following weekend. O$U would have gone to the Rose Bowl with a victory over Michigan.
Even with the loss to Minnesota, Iowa went to the Rose Bowl because O$U lost.
Fair enough. It was my first ever game at Kinnick. I was 11 at the time. I was there with Boy Scouts as we were ushers. We had to usher through the first quarter and they let us watch the game at field level near the Iowa locker room which at the time was at the northeast end of the stadium. Late in the 4th quarter they had us form a human chain in an attempt to keep the crowd off the field. Shockingly, that failed and about 75 boy scouts were nearly trampled to death. The goal posts were torn down, roses were flying (which is why I remembered this as a clincher) good times.
